Fletcher Cemetery

Fletcher Cemetery, located off U.S. 77 in South Robinson, was the site of the first burial of the early settler, Sample Carrigan. Mostly a family burial ground until Catherine Carrigan Fletcher set aside three acres for a public cemetery in 1873, it has served as a final resting place for residents of several area communities including Golinda, Mooreville, Robinson, Rosenthal and Satin.

St. John United Church of Christ

St. John United Church of Christ, located at 100 S. Robinson Drive (U.S. 77) was one of the city's earliest churches, being established in 1884. Originally established by a number of pioneers of German descent the church moved into its first building in 1890. It had previously met in homes and in the Presbyterian sanctuary. The first resident pastor was Rev. John Strauss who served from 1900 to 1940. The Texas Historical Commission plaque at the church site concludes: "Although the last German service was conducted in 1959, the church continues to reflect the ideals and traditions of its founders."
