Lawrence University Memorial Chapel
520 E. College Ave., Appleton, WI
The historic Lawrence University Memorial Chapel is located in the heart of the Lawrence campus on Appleton’s main street, College Avenue. The Chapel was built in 1919 and features a magnificent 41-stop mechanical-action organ built by John Brombaugh of Eugene, Oregon. Acoustics in this hall are remarkable and it may be one of the best settings to hear the unamplified human voice in performance.
