Our Mission
The Mission of the Halltown Memorial Chapel Association is to contribute to the understanding and interpretation of African-American life during the late 19th and early 20th centuries in Jefferson County, West Virginia through the restoration and preservation of the Halltown Memorial Chapel (1901) and the Halltown African-American Free School (1870).
