This little white church was built on the location of one of the most famous “camp meeting” revivals dating back to the early 1800s. This kicked off what became known as the Second Great Awakening where people came from far and wide for these week-long affairs. This church is over 200 years old and is still very active in its community!
The plaque posted between the doors reads:
“In 1812, Four Acres of Ground were donated by John Windrow for a camp ground. On this historic spot services of worship have been held continuously for more than one hundred fifty years. Methodist circuit riders have preached to tens of thousands of people, and between three and four thousand conversions have taken place here. It was from this sacred place that through prayer and the outpouring of the Holy Spirit power from on high was given for the founding of the first Methodist church in Murfreesboro in 1820. To God be the glory and His son, our Lord Jesus Christ!”
