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.
