The castle-like Earl Chapel, National Historic Landmark, boasts an interior of Victorian splendor including spectacular stained-glass windows, oak carvings and marble mosaics. You’ll hear the brief story of the young man who inspired this gorgeous building and you’ll see why it is a popular venue for intimate weddings as well as social events, memorials and funerals. You’ll even have the option to take a peek into one of the old cremation retorts! The non-denominational chapel is handicapped accessible.
For Google map directions use 186 Oakwood Avenue, Troy. The Oakwood Avenue (Route 40) entrance is a short drive from Route 7 East (Hoosick Street) in Troy.
The Friends of Oakwood is a non-profit volunteer group working to support the preservation and maintenance of the chapel and grounds of this still-active historic 19th century cemetery.
