Description
Looking through the trees you find a beautiful old church. Mount Lebanon Chapel and Cemetery, also known as Lebanon Chapel, is a historic Episcopal chapel and cemetery located on SR 1411 in Wrightsville Beach, New Hanover County, North Carolina. The chapel was completed in 1835. The land was part of a 320-acre tract known as "Mount Lebanon", named for the surrounding cedar trees that recalled the Biblical "Cedars of Lebanon". The chapel is a one-story, three bay by three bay, gable-roofed, rectangular building in a vernacular Greco-Gothic. It measures 26 feet wide and 37 feet deep, and is sheathed in weatherboard. It was restored in 1974. The cemetery contains 91 burials dating from 1815 to 1964. It is the oldest known surviving church in New Hanover County. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986.
