thumb Epworth Heights is a summer resort located in Ludington, Michigan, in the United States. == Founding ==
The summer resort known as Epworth Heights (now Epworth Assembly) was originally founded in 1894 as The Epworth League Training Assembly. Epworth began as a Methodist training camp on the shores of Lake Michigan. The mission statement drawn up read as follow: “Established 1894 for the purchase and improvement of grounds to be occupied for summer homes, for camp meetings, for meetings of assemblies or associations and societies organized for intellectual or scientific culture and for the promotion of the cause of religion and morality.”〔Historical Sketch in: "Announcement - Epworth League Training Assembly of Ludington Michigan", 1895, page 1〕〔"Steps to the Heights", Helen Putnam Shaver, 1957, Chapter 1〕 An agreement between The Citizen's Development Company of Ludington, The Flint and Pere Marquette Railroad, and The Epworth Training Assembly, was signed on May 6 of that year. By mid-July, a mere ten weeks later, the Hotel, Auditorium and classrooms that had been hastily built were ready for the first session, July 18th to August 5th. Families camped in tents on the sandy beaches and enjoyed the programming as well as the lakeside vistas.〔"First Annual Meeting of the Epworth League Training Assembly of Ludington Michigan", 1894〕
