1. Birdville Church of Christ Marker
On February 26, 1852, soon after Birdville became the Tarrant County Seat, 12 charter members attended this congregation's first worship service. After reorganizing in 1882, the members met in the Birdville school building. In 1900, Richard M. Gano, the well-known evangelist and Confederate general, conducted a revival. This land was acquired from the John McCord family and a frame building was erected in 1906. After a 1950 fire, this brick auditorium was constructed and then repaired after a 1970 fire.
Erected 1979 by Texas Historical Commission. (Marker Number 414.)
