Abstract
The Sheldon Memorial Chapel in Fairplay is a Presbyterian church with Gothic architecture that was built in 1874 under the leadership of Sheldon Jackson. In 1869 Jackson became the superintendent of all the Presbyterian missions in the West, and he moved his headquarters to Denver in 1871. He organized a congregation of Presbyterians in Fairplay in 1872 and provided them with assistance in subsequent years. The church building is still in use and is now the South Park Community Church.
