Abstract:
Camp meetings, or religious revivals, attracted farmers and people in small communities. Because of the distance to reach them, meetings often lasted a week. Most came for spiritual growth and renewal, and also to socialize and be entertained. The state's first camp meeting was held in October, 1801.
