Inscription:
“Old White Marsh Episcopal Church

Original structure built before 1690. Early 18th century rector was the Reverend Daniel Maynadier. A later provincial rector (1764–1768), the Reverend Thomas Bacon, compiled “Bacon’s Laws,” authoritative compendium of Colonial Statutes. Thomas John Claggett, first Episcopal Bishop of Maryland officiated here in 1793; Robert Morris, Sr., father of Revolutionary financier is buried here.

Church burned in 1892, was partially restored in 1977.”

Marker is located at the intersection of US50 and Manadier Road between Trappe and Easton.

Along the roads in Maryland there are roadside historical markers. Hundreds on Maryland Eastern Shore. The program was launched in 1933 and is currently administered by the Maryland Historical Trust (MHT) in cooperation with the Maryland State Highway Administration (SHA).These roadside historical markers are an effective way to draw attention to the many events, people and places that have contributed to the history of Maryland and the nation.

Often we will pass these signs at a speed that makes them hard to read. I will be posting one of these Highway Historical Markers each Tuesday Morning. Please come by to read read them and learn a little about the remarkable people, places and events throughout the region.

Why am I doing “Marker Tuesday” and not the often seen “Marker Monday”? No reason other than be different. Enjoy.
