Messenger of Peace is a railroad chapel car built in 1898, currently housed at the Northwest Railway Museum in Snoqualmie, Washington.

The initial funds to build Messenger of Peace were donated by women of the Baptist church, and so it was nicknamed "the Ladies' car".

[2] Some of the railroad lines that transported the Messenger of Peace were the Great Northern, the Northern Pacific, the Union Pacific, and the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul, typically for little or no charge, although that would change during World War I. Messenger of Peace was on display at the Trans-Mississippi Exposition of 1898, and again at the Louisiana Purchase Exposition in 1904.

[4] In A Church on Wheels, Charles Herbert Rust states that the judges at the 1904 Exposition awarded Messenger of Peace a silver medal despite the car not being entered in competition.

[5] Father Francis Kelley determined to build chapel cars for his Catholic Church Extension Society after touring Messenger of Peace at the 1904 Exposition.

[6] At one stop, noted evangelist Dwight L. Moody gave a sermon from Messenger of Peace, even though he wasn't a Baptist.

The following year, while preaching in Kansas City, Moody fell seriously ill and wanted to return to his home of Northfield, Massachusetts to die.

The car and missionaries were relocated near Everett, Washington in 1946, where they continued their work until 1948, when the Messenger of Peace was retired.
