Located on the Wayside Inn property (the oldest operating Inn in the country) is The Grist Mill.. This is also a stone's throw from The Martha-Mary Chapel and the single room Red Stone Schoolhouse. This location is an iconic one and the perfect image here continues to be pursued by both casual and professional photographers during all seasons.. Apparently, it served as teh inspiration for the Pepperidge Farm logo.
The best description of this beautiful chapel comes from the Wayside Inn: "The Wayside Inn Martha-Mary Chapel. The Martha-Mary Chapel accommodates up to 150 seated guests and was built by Henry Ford in 1940. Its secluded setting, perched at the top of a grassy knoll and framed by a backdrop of towering white pines, makes this a very popular place for wedding ceremonies." This image was taken during the tail-end of a New England nor'easter.
