Preserving the Past, Serving the Present, Honoring the Future
Nestled in the quiet hills of Grampian, Pennsylvania, Chestnut Grove Church & Cemetery is a sacred place where history, heritage, and community come together. Founded in the 1800s, our church once served as a cornerstone of spiritual life in the region, and today it stands as a beacon of remembrance, restoration, and connection.
The surrounding cemetery is the final resting place of veterans, pioneers, and generations of families whose stories helped shape this area. With care and reverence, we are committed to honoring those memories through ongoing preservation and community stewardship.
Want to throw an epic bash or a cozy gathering? Drop us a line at chestnutgrovechurchcemetery@gmail.com
Today, the restored church is not only a site of historical significance, but also a welcoming space available for event rentals, including weddings, memorials, community gatherings, and private celebrations. If you’re looking for a unique, heartfelt setting filled with character and history, we invite you to consider Chestnut Grove.
