John Felder and other Pike County settlers moved their Methodist camp meeting to this site in 1845, but it was abandoned during the Civil War and not reoccupied until 1881, when the present tabernacle was built. Many Felder descendants still attend meetings here each July, and the members’ closely packed frame tents—front-gabled bungalows with shed porches—create a semicircle around the massive open-sided pyramidal-roofed tabernacle, which was expanded in 1898. Since the 1940s, the grounds have grown to include two more streets behind the first line. The foundation of the original frame church remains near the tabernacle, while a 1957 brick church stands across the drive. Mature water oaks draped with Spanish moss shade the grounds, and a concrete monument (1945) listing the campground’s founders marks the centennial of the site.
