About the Chapel

The Cuchara Chapel held its first service on August 21, 1949. John and Rae Albright were instrumental in the building of the chapel, not only by the generous gift of the land but also by orchestrating community support for the cost of construction ($3,785.85). The chapel, located in the center of old downtown Cuchara, provided the perfect view of the valley and of the Trinchera mountain range.
