HISTORY
Camp meetings, originating in Kentucky
in 1800, are a distinctly American
contribution to the history of
Protestantism. Salem, one of the
country's oldest camp meetings, has
been held in some form every year since
1828 except during the Civil War.
Campers originally slept in or under their
wagons and some used wagon sheets
as tents. For generations, Salem has
welcomed some of the world's finest
preachers, and their photographs are on
display in the hotel lobby. The entire
Campground was put on the National
Historic Register in 1998.
