The roadside stories worth pulling over for.
Marker Inscription
Bishop G.W. Freeman began work of this faith in Crockett, April 19, 1850. All Saints was founded Oct. 1, 1864, by Bishop Alexander Gregg. Special ministry brought many slaves into the parish. A church was built on lot given by A.T. Monroe, nephew of fifth U.S. President, but by 1867, the church building had been lost (possibly in a fire) and local economy was in ruins as result of Civil War. With layreaders and part-time or visiting priests, worship was held in homes for many years. Reactivated in 1947, All Saints built a second church in 1958. (1972)
