Marker Text
Pine Grove Cumberland Presbyterian Church was organized about 1850, with the
Rev. Archibald Watkins (d. 1880) playing an instrumental role in its early
years. The fellowship first met in a small log cabin near Martin's Creek. This
building was constructed about 1870, and was used for worship services until the
congregation disbanded in 1906. It is now a part of Pine Grove's heritage and is
the scene of an annual homecoming. Recorded Texas Historic Landmark - 1966
