Welcome to the Sts. Peter and Paul Chapel Home Page. 

Our chapel is a small church which was built (as a Catholic church)  in 1916.  In recent years, the size of the parish diminished as people moved from rural Solon into the nearby cities.  In order to prevent the church from being destroyed, the Sts. Peter and Paul Historical Foundation was created to renovate and administer the facility.

The Foundation rents out the chapel and reception hall for weddings and related events.   This site provides an overview of the facilities - we hope that you will find it useful.

The church sits on a hilltop, and is visible from some distance away.   The rural setting is calm and peaceful, with no distractions from the noises of the city.
