Although the area had settlers, who farmed and hunted, the town of Emmitsburg, MD, didn’t form until William Emmit built a home and a tavern/inn in 1785. Once the inn was established alongside a major route, a town sprang up around it. A few short years later, after the Revolutionary War ended, a Catholic missionary Reverend Jean Dubois built a church, and later, a seminary. Elizabeth Ann Seton joined the flocks and established a convent. Many years later, Sister Seton was the first American to be canonized and become a saint. She is known as a patron saint of seafarers and widows.
