Stella Maris Chapel

Over 150 years old, this small Catholic chapel was the first church built in Aransas county when completed in 1858. Originally constructed fronting Aransas Bay, the entire shellcrete structure was relocated here in 1986. The Lamar cemetery next door holds graves dating back to the 1700s.
