Know Before You Go

Since the Chapel is located on the MSU campus, parking can be a challenge. The easiest option for visitors is the park at Barnes and Noble in the timed visitor lot and walk the five minutes to the Chapel.

Be sure to visit in the spring when the dogwoods and crepe myrtles are in full bloom.
