The Namesake Chapel

Here is what remains of the old Cumorah Chapel. First built in 1907, it was used by the Douglas Latter-day Saints up until 1961 when the current chapel was built. It received some renovation in 1935 to add space for a stage and classrooms. It currently sits on the property of Orson Adams, a small distance from its original location.

Its original location was adjacent to the Cumorah Cemetery, located on Cumorah Cemetery Road, about five miles south of the Coffee County Courthouse in Douglas. The Cumorah Cemetery is one of a handful of cemeteries specifically set apart for Latter-day Saint burials.

Frances Vickers Wilkes's article, "Coffee County's Cumorah Chapel," Douglas Enterprise, 13 September 1989, gives an excellent overview of the history of the chapel.
