=== Chapel of Martha and Mary ===
[[Henry Ford|Henry]] and [[Clara Bryant Ford]] dedicated a series of churches, the chapels of [[Martha of Bethany|Martha]] and [[Saint Mary|Mary]] as a perpetual tribute to their mothers, Mary Ford and Martha Bryant. The Fords built seven of these: The first at [[Greenfield Village, Michigan]], was completed in 1929. The others, completed in the 1930s, were located in [[Dearborn, Michigan]] (site of the Fords' [[Fair Lane]] estate); [[Sudbury, Massachusetts]]; two in [[Richmond Hill, Georgia]] (the Fords' winter home); [[Macon, Michigan]]; and Willow Run.<ref name="BvillePresHistory">{{cite web|url=http://www.bellevillepresbyterian.com/history-of-our-church.html|title=The History of our Chapel|publisher=Belleville Presbyterian Church|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160418165122/http://www.bellevillepresbyterian.com/history-of-our-church.html|archive-date=April 18, 2016|url-status=dead|access-date=July 10, 2017}}</ref>

After the war, Ford sold the chapel to Kaiser-Frazer, who in turn sold it to General Motors as part of the purchase of the Willow Run bomber plant. GM used the building to store files until an undetermined time, where it was sold to the Cherry Hill Baptist Church. When Cherry Hill outgrew the little chapel and decided to build a new church, it sold the chapel to the Belleville Presbyterian Church for one dollar in July 1978.<ref name=BvillePresHistory />

The Willow Run chapel of Martha and Mary now stands a few miles from where it was originally constructed, on property that used to be owned by Henry Ford's Quirk Farms. Of the seven chapels, this is the only one currently in use as a regular place of worship. It still has the original pews and other furnishings; the only other set in active use belongs to the Greenfield Village chapel.<ref name=BvillePresHistory />
