Text of marker: "1807 METHODISM AT SPRING HILL. Spring Hill, settled in 1807, was a preaching place on the Ohoopee Circuit by 1814. In 1850 John Carmichael gave land for a campground. A tabernacle replaced the brush arbors about the church. Campmeetings continued seven decades. Clements Institute evolved from pre-Civil War schools and in 1871 became the First Methodist District High School. C.C. Hines and W. A. Huckabee led in founding South Georgia College at McRae in 1891. From 1879, J.D. Anthony, "Bishop of the Wiregrass", made this his home. Here Bascom Anthony entered the ministry. In 1991, the church worships in its 1879 frame building with a fellowship hall in the school. No. 16 South Georgia Conference United Methodist Church 1991" - External Identifiers:
