A stop on the Tennessee Civil War Trails, Bethesda Church, a quaint old building with high-backed pews and an enclosed pulpit, is one of the oldest churches in E. Tennessee. The church was used as a hospital for wounded soldiers by both the Union and Confederate armies for a short time. Along with graves dating back to the 1700's, there are approximately 82 unknown soldiers buried in the cemetery. A static kiosk is located on the site providing information about the Civil War as well as local history of the Lakeway area. Bethesda Church still hosts an occasional worship service.
