1. Saint Peter's Episcopal Church Marker
Pioneer Episcopalians worshiped at the Kerr County Courthouse in 1881. In 1884-88, they erected a small frame Gothic church. The Rev. J. E. Hole served 1890-91 as first resident Rector; the Rev. Richard Galbraith, 1894-1908, as first permanent Rector. In 1908 Saint Peter's became a Parish. The Rev. J. E. Ellis, 1908-13 Rector, founded a Boy Scout troop here, before Scouting had originated nationally. The present church was built in 1928. Annexes were added later. The greatly enlarged membership includes descendants of early communicants.
Erected 1977 by Texas Historical Commission. (Marker Number 4486.)
