Wildwood Park at Mount Airy has played host to many large gatherings, including a camp meeting of the Salvation Army in 1911. This photograph shows members of Frederick's Salvation Army Band standing at the gates to Wildwood Park. A report from "The Frederick Post" in July 1911 noted that "during the day the attendance was between two and three thousand." The camp meeting included several speakers and music provided by the Baltimore and Frederick Salvation Army bands.
