This is “Herriman Chapel Camp: 60 Years of Vision,” an illustrated history of a religious campground in Cedar County, Missouri, affiliated with the Church of God (Holiness).  Hazel Messick conducted the historical research and Art Witt provided the photographic restoration and layout for the booklet.

 

Herriman Chapel Camp traces its roots to a Methodist congregation established about 1879 near Cedar Springs.  The name is derived from an early property owner named Harryman, and is styled as Harriman by the U.S. Geological Survey.  In 1927 the property was sold to the denomi­nation now known as the Church of God (Holiness), and since then it has been the site of an an­nual camp meeting.  A tabernacle, mess hall, and associated buildings have been erected on the property.

 

This illustrated 28-page booklet presents historical information about the camp and its re­vival meetings, including contemporary press accounts.  A chart on Page 13 lists principal evan­gelists, singers, children’s workers and cooks from 1960 through 1987.
