[edit] Local History
This unincorporated town was home to a train station (now gone) and a church school called Wesley Academy (building still there, no school being held any longer). The Wesley Cemetery is still being used today and the Wesley Chapel Church building that was built in 1901 is now home today for Grace Fellowship Ministries, a non-denominational church, and services are held every Sunday Morning at 10:00am.
The Wesley Chapel building still has most of the original stained glass windows installed along with many of the original fixtures still being used in the building for church services being held there today.
