Directions & Map

Barratt's Chapel is located on the north bound lane of Route 1, approximately 12 miles south of Dover, DE.

Recent highway construction has changed traffic patterns in the area.  Coming from the south, the main entrance to the Chapel grounds is immediately past the end of the cemetery wall. There is a second entrance just beyond the large Barratt's Chapel sign. Note that there is no turn lane for the Chapel.

Coming from the north, the safest approach is to go past the Chapel one-half mile to Exit 86 (N. Frederica). After exiting south bound Route 1, take the first left which leads  back to Route 1 north bound.  The main entrance to the Chapel is immediately past the cemetery wall, and a second entrance can be found just north of the Barratt's Chapel sign.

Barratt's is normally open to the public Wednesdays and Saturdays 10 a.m. - 2 p.m. and at other times by special arrangement with the curator.   There is no charge for admission.   For groups of six or more please contact the curator before planning your visit.

Researchers are also encouraged to make an appointment prior to coming,  however,  someone is usually available on Wednesdays to assist with research.
