An unexpected treasure in the finger lakes. Enthusiastic guide who presented a truly lovely experience. Every aspect of the chapel is amazing: the stained glass, mosaics and superb craftsmanship of the pews, organ etc. a real delight!

This is a treasure hidden in a little town in upstate New York. If you appreciate glass art this is breath taking.

I entered the chapel and it took my breath away and brought tears to my eyes. Gorgeous. Our guide (Marsha?) was fantastic, pointing out many things we would have missed on our own.

This chapel is small but all the windows were designed by Tiffany. If you go when the sun is shining, you will see the beautiful colors and intricate designs.
