ca. 1926. The photograph is labelled "Members and Faculty. Epworth League Institute. Epworth Heights Stadium. 1926." The "Epworth League Institute" was a youth order of the Methodist Episcopal Church founded in 1889. Its purpose was to help develop young church members in their religious life. Camp meetings were an important part of their summer activities. For this reason, the Cincinatti Camp Meeting Association of the Methodist Episcopal Church owned a 40 acre camp ground and assembly area outside of the city called Epworth Heights. It was often the travel destination of Methodist youth groups from Tacoma, Seattle and surrounding areas. The area fell out of use during the Depression. "Epworth" refers to the boyhood home in England of John Wesley, founder of the Methodist movement. (WSHS)
