Thomas' Methodist Episcopal Chapel, also known as Thomas Chapel, is a historic Methodist chapel and cemetery located near Chapeltown in Kent County, Delaware. The site was the location of the freedman Harry Hosier's 1784 sermon, the first to be delivered by an American black directly to a white congregation.〔Smith, Jessie C.

It is a small one-story, three-bay by three-bay, gable-roofed, brick building in the Greek Revival style. Also on the property are a contributing privy and combination storage shed and refreshment stand, both built about 1900. Adjacent to the church is the cemetery, used since the late-18th century.〔 and ''(Accompanying eight photos )''〕 It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1994.〔 ==See also== * Black Harry * List of Methodist churches in the United States 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Thomas' Methodist Episcopal Chapel」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
