The Kansas Chapel…a place for peace and harmony
The Kansas Chapel, located at our National Headquarters in Washington, D.C., has roots back to 1936. Through several relocations and refurbishments, it stands today as a place of beauty, meditation and reflection.
The Kansas Chapel features brilliant windows depicting the Kansas State Flower, the sunflower, assembled from panels from the Carnegie Library in Wichita, Kansas. The narthex, altar and memorial tables were designed and built by a Kansas woodcrafter from native Kansas black walnut. A stained-glass interpretation of the iconic “Prayer at Valley Forge” painting, crafted by another Kansas artisan hangs behind the altar table. It shines to connect us to the reverence shown by George Washington in the midst of the American Revolution.
The hearts of Kansas Society DAR Daughters are encouraged to provide a place of inspiration, solace and rest for our hard-working officers and staff as well as visitors to our House Beautiful.
The Kansas Chapel, a place for reflection, prayer, and meditation, tied with adornments from Kansas, is for all Daughters, staff, and visitors to use. May all who use it find comfort and peace.
“How lovely is your dwelling place, Lord Almighty!” Psalm 84
