Description
The Cades Cove Methodist church was organized in 1820 and listed on the rider circuit in 1830. During the American Civil War and reconstruction, the congregation split, with part forming the Hopewell Methodist church.
Originally a log structure with a fire pit and a dirt floor, the current building was built in 1902 by John D. McCampbell, the then pastor/carpenter in 115 days for $115.00. It has the second oldest cemetary in Cades Cove.
The Hopewell Methodist Church no longer stands.
