alioe in the hearts ofthe young and old This past August, Tucker 's Grove Campground celebrated its 109th year of worship. The campground meeting is sponsored by six area churches and attracts worshippers from as far away as Boston and New York. Camp meeting began here in 1876 when a farmen Clay Tucken donated five acreas of land as a permanent site for the camp- ground. Its history has not been simple. The campsite has sur- oivedfires, rain, and two polio epidemics in the 1940's. It still has the original steeple and posts in the arbon and the worship center is still located in the middle ofthe 100 tent campground.
