COVINGTON — To celebrate the opening weekend of Salem Campmeeting and invite the community to the historic campground, long-time βtentersβ are hosting a Tour of Tents from 1:30-3:30 p.m. July 15.
Tents is an unusual term for the rustic cabins that encircle the campground, but the name harkens back to the 1800s, in the early days of the campmeeting, when families would arrive by wagon and erect temporary tents to serve as their home during the weeklong community gathering and revival.
