Towamencin DAR represented at joint chapter meeting

Towamencin DAR Recording Secretary, Sara Natali represented the chapter at a joint chapter meeting held at All Saints Episcopal Church and Graveyard in Philadelphia, PA.

The Flag House hosted the meeting providing a brief tour/history of the Revolutionary-era church and then head out to the graveyard for our tour to learn more about it and those interred there.

Guided by the former president of the Historical Society of Frankford, Debbie Klak the group learned about the history of the gothic architecture of the church. Debbie and the historic committee then guided attendees through the graveyard, presenting details of various patriots, including Washington's godson, George W Morgan.

All Saints Episcopal Church and Graveyard is located on the oldest continuously used road (Frankford Avenue) which was once part of the 1650-1735 "King's Highway" and is down the street from the oldest surviving roadway bridge (Pennypack Creek Bridge - 1697) in NE Philadelphia. Both are the oldest in the US and are part of the National Park Services “Washington-Rochambeau Revolutionary Route National Historical Trail” that the American and French soldiers took in 1781 and 1782 while fighting for American independence.

Local Patriots, including Washington's godson, George W. Morgan were members of this church and lie in its graveyard. All Saints Episcopal Church and Graveyard is located at 9601 Frankford Avenue in Philadelphia, PA.
