Description
The Indian Mission Church, known as "Johnson's Chapel" and affiliated with the Methodist Protestant denomination, was constructed in 1881 by Nanticoke Indian people to provide a place to gather for religious devotions. It was formally incorporated in May, 1915, and a new building constructed in 1921, named Indian M.P. Church. Nanticoke people continue to hold their religious services here and the church continues to provide cohesiveness for the Nanticoke Indians to retain their native heritage and culture. The oldest marked grave in the cemetery is dated October 7, 1985. The church was listed in the National Registry of Historic Places in April, 1971.
