Notes
  • Significance: Sulphur Springs Methodist Campground was founded following the Great Revival of 1800. First meeting here may have been as early as 1815. In 1842 temporary brush arbors were abandoned for a more permanent structural complex. The present shed as well as the other buildings (now extinct) were reconstructed with the same materials in 1900. The religious and social phenomenon of the camp meeting was an important communicative vehicle for backwoods families. The result is evidenced by the large variety of Protestant sects and the particular brand of Protestant Christianity practiced in certain areas of the Southeastern United States. The simplicity and naturalness of the shed's open air construction and the electric spaciousness of its interior volume reflect the personality of the spirit and event that created it.
