Why Columbus Was Made Centenary City
The Methodist Centenary Celebration chose Columbus as the site for the event from June 20 to July 18. Organizer H B Dickson evaluated many cities and found Columbus offered unmatched facilities at the state fair grounds and a central rail reach to large Methodist populations. Columbus was deemed ideal due to proximity to large Methodist districts and extensive memberships within a short travel radius.
