I was asked to share more about Mountain Lake Park. Today, it is just a very small historic town, but in the late 1800's it was known for two things-being a spiritual resort with speakers including Billy Sunday, and an educational center, with speakers like Pres. Taft. It was Methodist based, and life revolved around a 5,000 seat amphitheater.
It is located in the mountains of Western, MD, and is an impoverished area, but, because of the railroads, was apparently more wealthy then.
Henry Ford & Thomas Edison were among those who vacationed in the area.
Apparently, there were seasons of some form of revival. The hymn, or song, a Power in the Blood was written here during one of those seasons.
The next town over was Loch Lynn, and partly because of activities at a hotel there a popular saying was born, "For Jesus' sake, come to Mountain Lake. For sin's sake go to Loch Lynn."
Today, a lot of wealthy retirees live in the huge Victorian homes in the summer and leave for warmer temps over the harsh, snowy winters.
Here is some history.
