After Reptile Gardens I drove over to The Chapel in the Hills. It is an exact replica of a Stave church some where in Norway. The original church is 800 years old.

The Gift Shop Building. It was built in Norway and then disassembled and shipped to here.

It's Ole and Lena. They stand outside the little museum building.

The lady in the gift shop/information building was telling me that the Norwegian government gave them the blueprints for the church as long as they promised to copy it exactly. :o

Is it being used? It looks so unused :p

It does get used. I don't know if it's on a weekly basis.
The seating area is fairly small. So it wouldn't hold many.
