Sacred Heart Chapel (Barrytown, New York)

The Sacred Heart Chapel, established in 1886 in Barrytown, New York, served the Irish Catholic community working on local railroads and estates. Before its establishment, residents traveled across the river for services. The church's cornerstone was laid in 1875, and it became a parish in 1886, with its first burial occurring later that year. The chapel is notable for its historical significance and the community's dedication, including the donation of land by the Donaldson family. Although it was suppressed as a parish around 1975, the chapel remains a point of interest for those exploring the region's religious and cultural heritage.
