Featured Activity

When the town's Pioneer Church Building was destroyed by a hurricane in 1945, the community purchased the chapel from Camp Hulen, a deactivated U.S. Army training base in Palacios. The chapel was disassembled and moved to Danevang, where it was reassembled and is still in use today. Some of the furnishings from the original building were salvaged after the hurricane and are being used in the church.
