Imagine standing on a cold September morning in 1777, just after the Battle of Brandywine, as George Washington’s Continental Army retreats through the Pennsylvania countryside, seeking refuge in the small village of Trappe. Nearby, the stone walls of a modest church, built only thirty years prior, wait to serve a new purpose—no longer just a place of worship, but a sanctuary for wounded soldiers and a hospital for the new nation's fighting men.
That place is Augustus Lutheran Church, affectionately known as the Old Trappe Church. Located on Main Street in Trappe, PA, this is not just a building; it is a portal to the founding of America.
Dedicated in 1745, the Old Trappe Church is the oldest unchanged Lutheran Church building in continuous use in the United States. When you walk through its doors, you are walking through the same doors, sitting in the same box pews (some still featuring their original doors), and looking up at the same pulpit used by early Pennsylvania German pioneers and the "patriarch of American Lutheranism," Henry Melchior Muhlenberg.
A tour of this National Historic Landmark offers an intimate look at colonial life:
<ul>
 <li>The Original Architecture: Marvel at the sturdy, hand-gathered sandstone exterior.</li>
 <li>A Place of War and Peace: Hear stories of how the church was used as a field hospital during the Revolutionary War.</li>
 <li>The Muhlenberg Legacy: Learn about Henry Muhlenberg and his family, who shaped the early days of American religion and politics.</li>
 <li>The Graveyard: Visit the resting place of many prominent local residents, including revolutionary soldiers and Governor Francis Shunk.</li>
</ul>
Don't just read about history—walk through it.

Mark Chiappone, age 55, passed away on January 17, 2026 in Miami, FL. Born on May 3, 1970 in Norristown, PA, to parents Donald and Phylis Chiappone Francis, Mark spent most of his childhood in PA, graduating from Great Valley High School, Malvern, PA in 1989 .Determined to be a marine biologist from the age of 11, Mark earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Marine Science and Biology from the U. of Miami in 1991, and subsequently a Master of Science in Marine Biology from Nova Southeastern U., Ft. Lauderdale, FL in 2000, as well as graduate certificates in his field from the U. of Florida. 
Throughout Mark’s career with The Nature Conservancy, The Center for Marine Science, UNC at Wilmington, Key Largo, FL, The U. of Miami, The National Coral Reef Institute, and for 7 years as an adjunct professor in Mathematics and Oceanography, then 19 years as a Senior Associate Professor of Biology and Oceanography at Miami-Dade College, Homestead Campus, he never lost his love of the ocean or his passion and persistence to protect marine life, particularly coral reefs.He loved sharing that passion and knowledge with his students and anyone else who would listen.
Mark dedicated over 12 years of service as a volunteer with the U.S. Coast Guard out of Coral Gables, FL, contributing thousands of hours to Search and Rescue, Environmental support and boat crew training. His passion for teaching was an integral part of educating boaters throughout Miami-Dade County.
While he had a deep love and dedication to his work, Mark loved his family above all. And nothing meant more to him than his boys. Being their father was his greatest blessing and his proudest role.
Mark is survived by his sons, Dominic Conrad and John Paul, their mother, Lina Lopez; his mother, Phyl Francis; his sister, Holly Altemose (Lance) and niece Alexandra Altemose; his Aunt,Tracie Carpenter; his cousin, Joshua Carpenter; and his cousins, Sarah Herrmann and Rebekah Batot. 
He was predeceased by his father, Don Chiappone (2010); his stepfather, Bud Francis (2006); his cousin, Jeremy Lackey (2006); and his uncle and aunt, Jim (2001) and Rosemarie (2017) Herrmann.
