It is unclear whether this congregation is still active. A Texas Historical Marker here provides some background:
Organized in June 1855 with 16 members, as one of 4 Presbyterian churches within a radius of 500 miles. Early, horseback-traveling pastors organized and served 3 churches in outlying areas.
Congregation built houses of worship in 1860, 1896, 1921. This church was 4 times host to the Presbytery, 1861-71; to Synod, 1920.
Records show Milford has been self-sustaining, faithful to support Presbyterian colleges of Texas, and high in benevolences.
Church bell, cast in New York, and brought here by ship, rail and ox-wagon, has called area to worship since 1871.
Year of construction: 1921
