Soldiers Chapel, Memorial chapel in Big Sky, Montana
The stone and wood chapel stands at an elevation of 6,017 feet, featuring a circular stained glass window and peeled log scissor trusses inside.
Nelson Story III commissioned the chapel in 1955 as a memorial to his son and the soldiers of the 163rd Infantry Regiment who died in World War II.
The stained glass window depicts the hand of God reaching toward a fallen soldier, designed by Sergeant Jack C. Gunter of the 163rd Infantry Regiment.
The chapel holds daily services from Memorial Day through Labor Day, with Sunday services beginning at 11 AM, and frequently hosts weddings.
The baptismal font incorporates an antique gold pan that belonged to a Story family ancestor, connecting the chapel to Montana's mining heritage.
