Little Chapel-in-the-Woods
The Little Chapel-in-the-Woods is a site for meditation and spiritual renewal for students at Texas Woman’s University. Constructed in 1939 and dedicated by First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt, the Chapel is the legacy of former TWU President Dr. L. H. Hubbard and more than 300 students who helped design, plan, or execute the ten stained glass windows, the brass lighting fixtures, wood carvings, and beams.
Designed by architects O’Neil Ford, A.B. Swank and Associates and Preston M. Geren, the Chapel is a popular site for recitals, ceremonies and other special events. The most popular use by students and community members is for weddings.
In addition to the Little Chapel-in-the-Woods, the University Gardens and the Greenhouse are also available for private use. Receptions, luncheons and other small gatherings, including those sponsored by a recognized student organization or university department, take place in this unique setting. The Greenhouse is reserved as a separate facility and includes the use of the gardens.
(The student services and resources described are available to students currently enrolled at the University. For some services or events, a fee may be charged and/or proper TWU identification may be required. Services vary from one university site to another.)
