The Future site for Church Trivia collected from the Local Churches of Junction City.

St. Mary's Chapel, Bldg 5, Fort Riley: the first stone church in Kansas, the original building was constructed by the Episcopalians in the mid 1850's.

The first chaplain at Ft. Riley, Chaplain Clarkson, laid the cornerstone.
