Abstract

This collection contains two printed items pertaining to the 300th Anniversary of Vienna Parish and its four churches, Chapel on Chicone Creek, Chapel of Ease, Old Church on Race Street and St. Paul's Episcopal Church.

Administrative History

The congregation began in 1702 as a chapel of ease outside the main part of Vienna, Maryland near Chicone Creek. In 1709, a new Chapel of Ease was erected five miles from the former location. After the Chapel of Ease was abandoned, construction for a new church began on Race Street in 1851. In 1892, a new church, St. Paul's Episcopal Church, was built. It took 14 years before the church was consecrated by Rt. Rev. William Forbes.
