Shofner's Lutheran Chapel
Shofner's Lutheran Chapel is a historic church on Thompson's Creek near Shelbyville, Tennessee. The church and adjacent cemetery are listed on the National Register of Historic Places as Shofners' Lutheran Church and Cemetery.
==History==
The church was established by Martin Shofner in 1808. A log church was built on a portion of the land grant that Shofner had received for Revolutionary War service. The church is said to be the first Lutheran congregation in Tennessee or anywhere west of the Allegheny Mountains.〔
The current church building is a clapboard Greek Revival-influenced building built around 1870.〔〔The Shofner Lutheran Chapel Fund gives a construction date of 1871; the ''Shelbyville Times-Gazette'' (June 11, 2014) states that Michael Shofner gave the date as 1867.〕〔〔 The benches in its interior came from an earlier log church building and are made from solid walnut. The congregation is no longer active, but the descendants of Martin Shofner continue to use the church for special occasions.〔
The church building and cemetery were added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1998.〔 In 2008, the Tennessee Preservation Trust placed the church on the organization's annual list of the state's "Most Endangered Historic Places" because of concerns that the planned widening of U.S. Route 41A would adversely affect the church's historic landscape and viewshed. The Tennessee Department of Transportation later revised its construction plans for the highway project to avoid adverse impacts.〔(【引用サイトリンク】work=Ten in Tennessee: 2008 Ten in Tenn )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher=Tennessee Valley Authority )〕 On June 9, 2014, a storm damaged the church roof and knocked down some trees in the churchyard.
