The story

Presbyterians held services in this locality in the 1850's and organized this church in 1879, only a few years after Granbury was founded. Charter members included the Bowdens, Carmichaels, Doyles, Gastons, Greens, Kens, Lyles, Mrs. Eliza Nunn and Mrs.

Hattie D. Peveler. The congregation built this sanctuary in 1895-96.

Style is modified gothic, with 3-story belfry and steeple. A stained glass window was added in 1964.

Hear thousands of these as you drive.
