Largest Ten Commandments, Murphy, NC

A theme park featuring the Bible’s greatest hits, Fields of the Wood is located 18 miles west of Murphy on NC-294. Created by the Church of God of Prophecy in the 1940s, this supersized tribute features the Ten Commandments on a hillside (reminiscent of the Hollywood sign), an 80-foot altar, a 50-foot-wide concrete Bible, a baptismal swimming pool, and a replica of Christ’s tomb. —Adam McCulloch
