The Tabernacle in Scottsville, Kentucky was built in 1912. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2001.[1]
It is a large wood-frame square-plan structure constructed by J. M. Guthrie to be "used for revivals, church association meetings and conferences, singing conventions and 'meetings for all good purposes.'"[2] It was originally open on one side until it was enclosed in 1938 as part of a National Youth Administration project during the Depression. In Methodism, a "tabernacle" serves as the center of a camp meeting.
