The Springtown Tabernacle Main Stage.
Main coordinates are droidX
By 1884, the town was incorporated.
That same year, the College Hill Institute and the Springtown Male and Female Institute were founded, and Springtown was soon considered the center of education for the area. By the turn of the century, the coming of public education and other changes had caused the schools to decline in attendance and the Male and Female Institute building became the Springtown High School. The College Hill Institute building was put on log rollers and moved by mule teams to the town square where it became the City Hall. An open-sided area for meeting was added to the new City Hall and was called the “Tabernacle” because of the numerous revival meetings held there.
In 1936, during the Depression, the Civilian Conservation Corps moved City Hall and the old Tabernacle and constructed the present Tabernacle which continues to be the focus for town life. Weddings, religious services, political rallies, graduation ceremonies, funerals, and community activities have been held there. The community was especially proud of the stone and wood rail fence which kept horses, wagons, and buggies at a distance from the Tabernacle. A well on the north side provided cool water.
