Dickerson Chapel is a historic chapel in Hillsborough, North Carolina. Built in 1790, the chapel originally served as the courthouse for Orange County until 1844. It housed a Baptist congregation from 1845 until 1862, when it was purchased by a group of Quakers to serve as a school for African-American children. Since 1886 it has housed a congregation of the African Methodist Episcopal Church.
