Tucker's Grove Camp Meeting Ground, Religious camp meeting ground in Iron Station, North Carolina, US.
Tucker's Grove Camp Meeting Ground is a gathering place in North Carolina with approximately 100 wooden tent frames arranged in a circle around a central covered meeting area. The structures are built using traditional construction methods without nails, creating a functional space where people assemble regularly throughout the year.
The site was established in 1874 when Mary Tucker donated her land to create a gathering place for the community. Following the Civil War, this location became an important assembly point where people could practice their religious traditions together.
The annual gathering in August brings families who return year after year to participate in worship services, share meals together, and take part in religious activities that have deep meaning for the community.
The location is most accessible during the August gathering when parking and facilities are set up for visitors. Small shops on the grounds offer refreshments and items for purchase, making a visit straightforward.
The central meeting hall was renovated in 2017 using modern methods while maintaining its original nail-free construction technique. A photographer has documented the gatherings since the mid-20th century, creating a visual record of how the place has been used over time.
