We came upon this 1891 chapel on Tilghman Island Road and I stopped to take pictures. Two months later this quaint country church became a Kennedy Clan glamor place when the wedding of William Kennedy Smith was performed here. He married his girlfriend Anne Henry on a May Saturday then treated busloads of wedding guests to a reception and fireworks display at his $1.1 million waterfront farmhouse.
William Kennedy Smith, an infamous nephew of President John F. Kennedy, was acquitted of rape and battery in a televised 1991 Florida Court Case.
