Encyclopedic overview
Beersheba Springs (/ˈbɜːrʃəbə/) is a town in Grundy County, Tennessee, United States, in the south central part of the state. As of the 2020 census, Beersheba Springs had a population of 434. A prominent resort town in the 19th century, Beersheba Springs was developed in 1854 by retired wealthy slave trader, John Armfield, who bought property in the area. It became a destination for wealthy guests from Nashville and other cities.
Tennessee author Mary Noailles Murfree later regularly stayed at the complex in the summer. The town now serves as a major summer meeting center for the Tennessee United Methodist Church.
