Powers Chapel

Rosebudbr/Falls County, Texasbr/31 06.960' N 96 53.504' Wbr/Directions: Start at the intersection of CR-327 and FM-2027. Go .5 miles north on FM-2027. The chapel is on the left (west) side of the road.br/ br/Historical Marker: Before 1850 the Rev. Joseph P. Sneed (1804-1881), a Methodist circuit rider, organized the congregation later known as Powers Chapel. Luke Powers and John Cullines donated this land for a log church house built in 1855. It served as a community center and school until a two-story building, with a Masonic lodge upstairs, replaced it in 1870. This structure was completed in 1890. Acreage from other land gifts provided for the cemetery and the tabernacle which took the place of an early brush arbor. Revivals and Memorial Day services are still held here.
