Hughes A.M.E. Chapel, also known as the Trinity Methodist Episcopal Church and the Nause-Waiwash Longhouse, is a historic building located near Cambridge in Dorchester County, Maryland, United States. It is a simple rectangular frame structure, three bays in length, with a medium-pitched gable roof. The exterior is covered with weatherboard siding and the windows are covered with shutters. The former church building is a common example of late 19th- and early 20th-century religious buildings that were built in rural communities on the Eastern Shore of Maryland. It was located in the Bucktown area, which was home to bi- and tri-racial people who were descended from Native, African, and European Americans. The building has been occupied throughout its existence by members of the local community, including by the Nause-Waiwash Band of Indians, a non-profit organization for people who self-identify as being of Nanticoke descent. The Nause-Waiwash Band of Indians acquired the building in 1998. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2018.
