He's Alive! XXX Cummings Chapel

Cummings Chapel
Established in 1858

Near New Center, Tennessee


This is the Thirty First in a series of He's Alive! caches.

Many of the local Smoky Mountain churches have small congregations, are quaint and friendly, and their structures have a very typical country facade.

Frequently small in size, though large in stature, the church is distinguished by being either log or white in color with a double or sometimes single door step-up entrance and a steeple as modest as the congregation within. The more "luxurious" steeple will house a meeting bell.

Established in 1858, Cummings Chapel is one of the few churches built of logs still known to survive in East Tennessee. This photograph was taken in the mid-1980's, just prior to it's last renovation. In this photo an exposed section of the logs may be observed at left of the church door, on the cemetery side of the church.

The best time to visit this geocache is obviously during non Sunday meeting hours as there will be less traffic in the immediate area.

This cache is located at the church off of Cummings Chapel Road. The micro cache is a cammo covered film canister with a rolled up log sheet inside. Be sure to bring a pen or pencil to sign.

Please remember the exact place and position you retrieve the cache so as to return it in the same manner!

A “spoiler” hint is provided if you so choose to use.

Godspeed and enjoy the hunt!
