A walk around the Indian Fields Methodist Campground. Built in 1787 – 1848 in St. George, South Carolina.
‘Religious camp meetings played an important role in the growth of some Protestant denominations in the early 19th century in rural parts of the United States. These meetings served a much wider population than a single church. Camp meetings usually lasted around a week and were social as well as religious occasions for the participants. A typical camp meeting site started with a brush arbor surrounded by tents and wagons. Often a chapel or tabernacle was built to replace the arbor and wooden cabins called “tents” were built to replace actual tents.’ (Wikipedia)
Indian Fields is one of several camps still active in South Carolina. Meetings (revivals) are yearly and most have never missed a meeting in 200+ years.
Best viewed large, all about the little things here.
I LOVED this post. We have a Camp Meeting near us in Denver NC. Its name is Rock Springs Campground.
Outdoor sinks were of interest. Good job here with monochrome.
This was something I never knew existed before moving to SC. I thought it was something out of the movies 😂.
We have at least 5 here, looking for more. I have photographed the 3 bigger ones several times and was set to drive up to another injustice found out about, but the storm and nesting Storks took over. Soon I’ll visit.
That looks like an amazing place to explore Ted. I think monochrome is perfect for it.
Thank you. We try to visit the campgrounds each year, and yes monochrome 👍👍👍👍. Except maybe Shady Grove, color photos here from a few days ago. That’s a place to ‘play’ with colors.
