Established in 1786, this was the first Methodist Episcopal Church to be erected on Tennessee soil. Bishop Francis Asbury preached here often. A ten-day revival held here by Rev. John A. Granada began the Great Revival of 1780-81. The chapel was named for Timothy Acuff, who gave the land on which it as erected, and whose son, Rev. Francis Acuff, was a convert at the Granade Meeting.
Erected by Tennessee Historical Commission.
