In 1911, Waynesville was a small mountain seat in Haywood County, North Carolina, where the railroad had brought visitors and new business over the previous decades. Local life centered on the courthouse square, the churches, and the timber, tanning, and farming that supported the surrounding valleys. The Southern Assembly, a Methodist summer gathering on the edge of town, drew families and religious speakers up from the lowland towns during the hot months, and its programs of lectures, worship, and camping made the place known across the region as a retreat from summer heat and fever. Here the assembly's grounds and the people who filled them show how the mountain town balanced its everyday trades with the seasonal crowds that arrived to escape the cities below.
