The freshwater spring at the intersection of Salem and, the appropriately named, Spring roads was a source of drinking water for travelers for more than a hundred years, and is one of the main reasons the annual Salem Campmeeting occurs where it does. Today, it's more commonly a place for adults to enjoy a scenic picnic, children to splash around and young couples to "court," said Sam Ramsey, sixth generation campmeeting-goer. He promised those couples were only going there to talk and, possibly, hold hands.
