Museum of Methodism
The Museum of Methodism, adjacent to Barratt's Chapel, was built in 1964 by the Peninsula-Delaware Conference. Funding came from the sale of the closed Bethel M. E. Church on the Chesapeake-Delaware Canal which the Army Corps of Engineers needed to purchase for the widening of the canal.
