The Wikipedia article of the day for October 2, 2015 is Capon Chapel.
Capon Chapel is a mid-19th-century church near the town of Capon Bridge in the US state of West Virginia. A Baptist congregation began gathering at the site of the present-day church as early as 1756. The land originally belonged to William C. Nixon, a member of the Virginia House of Delegates, and later to the extended family of Captain David Pugh of the West Virginia House of Delegates. Capon Chapel was used as a place of worship by Baptists until the late 19th or early 20th century, by the Southern Methodist Episcopal Church for most of the 20th century, and in this century by the United Methodist Church. The church cemetery contains the remains of John Monroe (one of the first ministers at the site), Nixon, Pugh, American Civil War veterans from the Union and the Confederacy, and free and enslaved African Americans. Capon Chapel, along with its cemetery, was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2012 in recognition of its rural religious architecture representative of the Potomac Highlands region, and for its service as a rural church in Hampshire County.
