The Sulphur Springs Methodist Campground is a historic religious summer campground near Jonesborough, Tennessee. This one-story open air camp meeting shed with gable on hipped roof is rectangular, measures approximately 72 x 45 feet, and has a nave plan. The structure is supported by hewn and pegged timber truss work. It features a stage, unfinished plank pews, and a packed earth and sawdust floor. Sulphur Springs Methodist Campground was founded following the Great Revival of 1800. First meetings here may have occurred as early as 1815. In 1842 temporary brush arbors were abandoned for a more permanent structural complex. The present shed as well as the other buildings, now extinct, were reconstructed according to the same plan and shape and utilizing the same materials in 1900.

Daniel Boone High School (Tennessee)

Daniel Boone High School is a public high school located in Gray, Tennessee, US. It is one of two high schools in the Washington County Schools system. Daniel Boone High School opened in 1971–72 to serve the students of the northern half of Washington County, Tennessee. Its feeder schools are Boones Creek Elementary, Fall Branch School (elementary and middle school), Gray Elementary, Ridgeview Elementary, and Sulphur Springs Elementary. The school's athletic and academic teams compete as the "Trailblazers" and wear colors of scarlet and old gold. Daniel Boone High School also has a Marine Corps ROTC program with drill teams.In 2008, the football field was named after long time head coach Ken Green. He had been coach for over 30 years.Daniel Boone's current football coach is Jeremy Jenkins, who also coaches softball. Jeremy, a Boone graduate has made the playoffs two years in a row. Annually, the football team plays David Crockett High School in the "Musket Bowl" game. The rivalry, which goes back 49 years, is played between the two high schools in Washington County, Tennessee. The winner receives a replica musket, and unlike trophies in collegiate season bowl games, the musket is traded back and forth every year. (Unless one team wins the game three times in a row, then the school keeps the musket and a new musket must be purchased) As of 2023, the standings heavily favor Daniel Boone at 39–14. Daniel Boone High School's enrollment has been fairly steady for the last few years, remaining between 1,100 and 1,300 students.
