Wildwood, TN

Wildwood is a Blount County CDP with Bethlehem Methodist Church as its clearest historic landmark. The church was organized in 1886, and its Gothic Revival building - with a front gable and bell tower - still stands beside the cemetery that shares its National Register listing. Wildwood is not a separate municipal downtown; it is a community read through roads, church grounds, and the broader foothill landscape. That makes the old church matter even more: it is a fixed point in a place whose identity is spread out rather than gathered around a square. Wildwood is Blount County in a small, recognizable piece.
