Pleasant Grove Camp Meeting Ground, Methodist camp meeting ground in Waxhaw, United States.
Pleasant Grove Camp Meeting Ground is a historic Methodist site in Union County with multiple buildings and an open-sided shelter. The property features a frame arbor with a gable roof that serves as the main gathering space.
This Methodist meeting ground was established in 1830 and evolved from the earlier McWhirter Camp Ground founded in 1787. The site gained recognition on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973.
This site served as a gathering place where the Methodist community and neighbors came together for worship and fellowship. Religious assemblies and social events held here shaped the spiritual life of the region for generations.
The grounds are located northeast of Waxhaw and can be reached via SR 1327. Visitors should expect an open property and check conditions before visiting, as access may vary seasonally.
Church members and neighbors directly participated in building the shelter structure, creating a monument to their collective effort. This hands-on cooperation made the site a true expression of the local community's values.
