Old Cadet Chapel
Although Congress provided in 1818 for the appointment of a civilian Protestant clergyman at West Point there was no regular chapel building until construction of this neo-classical edifice in 1836 making it the first house of worship at the Academy. The chapel was originally constructed in the central area, but when Bartlett Hall was scheduled to be built on that site in 1910, the West Point alumni provided funds to preserve their cherished chapel. It was dismantled stone by stone and reconstructed at its present site at the edge of the West Point Cemetery, where a new entrance to the cemetery was added. The reconstruction was completed in 1911. The Old Cadet Chapel is also a repository for many unusual plaques and other memorabilia, including a plaque to the infamous Major General Benedict Arnold.

Because of its location at the entrance of the cemetery, many funerals and memorial services are held here. It has also been the home for Lutheran services for many years. (10:30 a.m. Sundays 8:00 a.m. in summer) It is open for meditation and prayer daily from 8:15 a.m. till 4:15 p.m., with a seating capacity of 450. The Old Cadet Chapel is one of five chapels on the Academy grounds and is one of the oldest buildings still in use at West Point.
