1. Incarnate Word College Marker
Noted for quality educational programs, this institution grew from a teaching charter granted in 1881 to the Sisters of Charity of the Incarnate Word. In 1893 a boarding and day school known as Incarnate Word Academy was established. By 1909 a collegiate program had developed from the Academy, and the first bachelor's degree was conferred in 1910. After 1921, the academy and the college became separate institutions. An important part of the educational endeavors of the Sisters of Charity of the Incarnate Word, the college has been located at this site since 1897.
