CHAPEL OF THE VETERANS

The Chapel of the Veterans, constructed in 1893, rests on the grounds of the Eisenhower VA Medical Center. The entire facility is now a National Historic Landmark, and the chapel was a finalist for the 8 Wonders of Kansas Architecture Contest because of its ornate style. It's also the only church where Protestant and Catholic religious services could be conducted under one roof at the same time.
