Wesley Chapel African Methodist Episcopal Church
Since 1879, this location has been home to San Marcos' oldest known African American congregation, although a succession of sanctuaries have stood on this site. The church had been established for four years when the first building was constructed in 1883, and a freedmen's school, operated by the church, also met here.
