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.
