Names on record were, Crosby, Friend & Friend, Diemet, Harding and Sylvester. 1820 Crosbytown incorporated and changed its name to Etna. 1858 Daniel Buswell built the house at top of hill on Route 2 just west of Camp Etna. Camp Meetings (Religious Gatherings) held in Buswell's Grove. 1876 Daniel Buswell Jr. hired a large tent and speakers for the first fall camp meeting at Camp Etna. Admission was 10 cents/day. 1880 The pavilion was built in 1880 for approximately $500 and had a seating capacity of more than one thousand. According to Wikipedia, 78 cottages were on Camp Etna grounds in 1880. According to Mary Drake Jenne (Secretary of MSSAC 1909-46 Director/Secretary ESA 1925- 46) there were 131 cottages on property before the fire of 1922. 1890 Buswell transferred ownership of approximately 300 acres to the First Maine Spiritualist State Camp Meeting Association. 1893 Harrison D. Barrett, born in Canaan, Maine in 1860, founded the National Spiritualist Association. Harrison served Camp Etna many years as platform speaker and president as did Mary Scannel Pepper Vanderbilt. Her grave and head stone are in Barrett Sq. Mary Drake Jenne worked with them from 1902 until Harrison passed to spirit in 1911 and Mary Vanderbilt in 1919. Mary Drake Jenne continued to be a worker for Spiritualism until her death in 1946. 1899 The First Maine Spiritualists State Camp Meeting Association filed their corporation papers. 1906 Trustees purchased the Echo Farm & Hotel and changed the name to the Camp Etna Hotel.

Lincoln Blaisdell.” Camp Etna Hotel changed name to The Tavern which was newly remodeled. 1941 Hotel on campground up next to Route 2 is now called The Etna Inn. 1946 The Etna Inn is reopened as The Etna Tavern.

The Etna Eagle was published. 1948 Last mention of 300 acre property in program. 1957 First year program does not mention a railroad stop. 1961 Bangor & Aroostook Railroad discontinues passenger service to Bangor. 1968 The Etna Tavern, now used as boarding house and furniture storage was destroyed by fire January 13, 1968. 1971 The Temple built after fire in 1922 collapses due to snow load. Gladys Laliberte Temple constructed in years to follow by camp members. 1980 The Harrison D. Barrett Church was constructed on the grounds and held church services from May through September with the exception of the Camp Etna seasonal meetings in June and August. 1991 The First United Spiritualist Church held services from May to September with the exception of Camp Etna seasonal meetings; June & Aug. 1990s The Etna Inn (dormitory rooms upstairs) is closed for safety reasons. 2000s Temple repaired, buildings reborn, porches rebuilt, web site established. 2015 The Healing Light Spiritualist Church holds services every Sunday year round with the exception of the two month Camp Etna Summer Season. Camp Etna Historical Society –Diane Jackman Skolfield About Camp Etna Camp Etna is run by dedicated volunteers during the camp season of July and August with some additional programs being offered in June and September. Throughout the years, Camp Etna has been home to many talented mediums and healers who have shared their spiritual knowledge and insights to those visiting the campground. Camp Etna welcomes people from all backgrounds interested in exploring spiritual issues. The camp cottages center around a common green. The peaceful 27 wooded acres are an ideal setting for reflection. Visitors can stroll the grounds, visit the healing rock or walk down to Etna Pond. The natural beauty makes it a wonderful place for a personal retreat. Camp Etna has seen many changes over the years but it still retains its historical significance. There are about 50 cottages on the 27 acre property. The common buildings include a temple, community meetinghouse, an inn, and the auxiliary building. The Auxiliary houses our association office and library as well as several apartments. We are in the process of fundraising to bring our buildings up to current day standards. We hope that one day Camp Etna will provide state-of-the-art accommodations that retain its historical charm. We intend to host large spiritually-based events that enlighten and provide opportunity for people to relax in a natural setting and enjoy these healing grounds. We, at Camp Etna see a bright future. We are in the process of rebirth but we have never missed an August camp meeting program. We invite you to come and walk these spiritually-rich and peace-filled grounds, get a reading from one of our many talented mediums, visit the healing rock and other areas for quiet repose. We wish you welcome and we hope to see you soon! The Etna Spiritualist Association dba Camp Etna is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization.

  • Historic Context Report: a Harvest in the Open for Saving Souls-The Camp Meetings of Montgomery County
    HISTORIC CONTEXT REPORT “A Harvest in the Open for Saving Souls” The Camp Meetings of Montgomery County By Elizabeth Jo Lampl with Clare Lise Kelly Montgomery County Planning Department Historic Preservation Section Prepared for the Maryland Historical Trust July 2004 SOURCE OF COPIES: The Maryland-National Capital Park and Planning Commission 8787 Georgia Avenue Silver Spring, Maryland 20910-3760 www.montgomeryplanning.org/historic Author: Elizabeth Jo Lampl, with Clare Lise Kelly (Cavicchi) Originally published as Montgomery County Department of Park and Planning Reprinted 2012, Montgomery County Planning Department Cover photo: Spencerville Camp Meeting (see page 68 for photo credit) I. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Nineteenth-century Montgomery County was an ideal locale for the American ‘camp meeting,’ a phenomenon that started in the mid-1700s and has endured into the present day. The camp meeting was a religious gathering set in nature - a grove, a clearing on a farm, or a seaside spot. The meeting was characterized by large audiences attending religious services and camping at the site of those services for an extended period of time. At the writing of this report, the local camp meeting tradition is at risk of completely dying out, for only one of the four, primary camp meetings of the Montgomery County remains active and it is threatened. The importance of documenting this tradition is critical and twofold: First, the camp meetings belong to both a national and local folklore tradition that faces obstacles to its continuance. It is important to capture the voices, faces, and stories of those who participated in the evangelical revivals, many of whom represent the last generation to offer us authentic oral histories.

  • Oxford Institute of Methodist Theological Studies, August 2007 HISTORY and DEVELOPMENT of METHODISM (Post-Wesley) Working Group
    Oxford Institute of Methodist Theological Studies, August 2007 HISTORY AND DEVELOPMENT OF METHODISM (post-Wesley) Working Group From the Prairies to the Potteries – Cultural Adaptation and the English Camp Meeting British Methodism has at the heart of its theological self-understanding acts of remembrance and of proclamation. The Doctrinal standards of the church set out in Clause 4 of the Deed of Union declare that the church ‘ever remembers that in the providence of God Methodism was raised up to spread scriptural holiness through the land by the proclamation of the evangelical faith and declares its unfaltering resolve to be true to its divinely appointed mission.’1 (CPD Pt2 p 213) The phrasing does of course have echoes of Wesley’s own understanding of the purposes of his movement and reflects the distinctive noted by James C Logan ‘…Methodists were a mission movement before they ever became a church…Other church traditions may trace their origins to distinctive confessional or theological patterns. Wesleyans on the other hand, became a church not for confessional reasons but for evangelistic or missional reasons’2 For this reason, the historical celebration of origins in the tradition, if it is to be done theologically, is necessarily a re- examination of the identity and purpose of Methodism – not simply a recollection of ‘what happened when’ but rather of ‘why we did happen and why we continue to exist as a tradition’ This year of 2007 has seen the celebration of the 200th anniversary of the first English Camp Meeting held at Mow Cop in Staffordshire on May 31st 1807.

  • CHURCHES of the NOT-SO-STANDING ORDER by Peter J
    CHURCHES OF THE NOT-SO-STANDING ORDER By Peter J. Gomes Pilgrim Society Note, Series One, Number 18, 1966 When confronted with the mass of material relating to Plymouth’s religious life in the last century a vast amount of editing and defining must be done. The task is a difficult one, for it is quite easy to be caught up in the intricacies of memorabilia and artifacts, genealogy and antiquarianism in so broad a topic that the necessary scope and vision become obscured in a welter of details. The details are meant only as illustration of the broader pattern and are of little worth in themselves, to us anyway. Let me define our area for consideration by telling you what I do not intend to deal with: I shall avoid a discussion of Lutheranism and Catholicism, not out of some capricious whim, but because I am convinced that these religions can only be seen adequately within the context of the European immigration movements of which they were so important a part. I shall further avoid a discussion of the peculiar particulars of the much-discussed and little understood "Unitarian Controversy" of 1801 except as a necessary prelude to greater developments in the Plymouth religious scene. And finally, the various destinies of the daughters and stepdaughters of the Pilgrim Church are also not the proper subject of this paper. It would take a major dissertation merely to consider the schisms, personal and theological, which sprinkled Congregational churches all over the Plymouth landscape. In order to have anything at all left to say, I concern myself with what I would call "Churches of the Not-So-Standing Order" or perhaps subtitled "Churches Not Seen from Clark’s Island." I am devoting myself to the evangelical, minority sects, the pent-up harvest of the first "Great Awakening" of the 1740s, which made their initial presence felt in this ancient Pilgrim town from the coming of the Baptists in 1809 to the celebrated Negro Camp meetings of the AME Church at Morton Park in 1866.
