Oakland Memorial Chapel stands on the campus of Alcorn State University in rural southwestern Claiborne County, Mississippi. Built in 1838 as part of Oakland College, it is one of the oldest surviving buildings on the campus, which Alcorn State took over after the American Civil War. The Greek Revival chapel was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1976 and a Mississippi Landmark in 1985.
