Rochford Chapel

Rochford Chapel The beloved Rochford Chapel in Rochford, South Dakota Rochford Chapel was completed in 1966 as a church for summer residents of the Rochford area.

A Presbyterian minister, the Rev. Tyra Talley, started the Rochford Chapel project in the summer of 1960.

The walls of the chapel are decorated with works of local artists. The Chapel celebrated its golden anniversary in 2016.
