Fountain Head Campground
Fountain Head Campground 1833-1885
In 1851 Fountain Head Methodist Episcopal Church South purchased the Fountain Head Campground, a 12 acre wooded grove with a large spring. The Daily Press and Herald reported this scene in 1869: "All was peaceful since the war with white tents, wagons and buggies dotting the grove. Early devotions, two daytime services and the last at 'early candle light' called campers to the white Methodist church. On Sunday 2000 were in attendance. This campground is now Fountain City Park.
