Strothers Meeting House in Sumner County held the first conference
of the Methodist Church in Middle Tennessee in October of 1802.
This small log cabin has often been referred to as the "Traveling
Church" because it has been dismantled and moved numerous times.
Its history also includes a seventy-year stint as a corn crib. The
church was moved to an honored place on the Scarritt Bennett Campus
in 1931.
