Across the highway was a log meeting house and campground visited by Bishop Francis Asbury and early Methodist circuit riders. On this site Col. W. P. Thompson gathered his regiment in 1812.

The church, brick-cased about 1860, was moved to the present location of Chilhowie United Methodist Church in 1893.| UTM (WGS84 Datum) | 17S E 438303 N 4073628 |
