It’s free so it costs nothing but your time and gives you a chance to get out of your car and stretch for a bit. The works of art are impressive, but it is slightly depressing since almost everything is dedicated to people who have died. In addition to the main chapel there are other rooms dedicated to people who have passed. The remaining murals all remain unsigned. It has been signed by Samuel Butcher which signifies that nothing additional will be added to it. There is only one completed mural (shown above) in the chapel. It helped give us a better understanding of the story behind each mural. I’m glad we stopped to listen to her talk about the murals. Our docent was excellent and talked about each of the murals (there are. The doors are made of a teak wood and are gorgeous.Įntering the Precious Moments Chapel you walk into the main room where a docent if available to answer any and all questions. The doors were handcrafted by Samuel Butcher (the Precious Moments artists and creator of Precious Moments) in the Philippines, where he resides.

I can only imagine how gorgeous it is in the summer when everything is in full bloom.Īpproaching the doors to the chapel you get your first indication of what awaits you inside. It’s a short walk with flat and clear walkways. I think the gift shop must have every available figurine on display as well as a nice variety of gifts.Īfter walking through the beautifully decorated main building, which was still decked out for Christmas, we took the doors out the back to walk over to the cathedral. The gift shop and cafe is the first building you enter. The Precious Moments Chapel is located in Carthage, MO just northwest of Springfield and a short jaunt off US-40. Honestly, they always struck me as looking kinda sad, but I couldn’t resist stopping. I’ve never been a Precious Moment collector. The quirkier the better and this was definitely hitting my quirk radar.

Biggest ball of twine, largest rocking chair, a chapel adorned only in Precious Moments figurines, painting, and stained glass. Long road trips always require a few quirky stops along the way.
