The farmland now known as Vesper Hills, was deeded to Faith United Methodist Church by church member Eura Felumlee in 1960. The gift of the land called for the property to be used by the church to the "Glory of God."

The lodge and primitive restrooms were the first structures to be built on the property. Also in the early 1960's, a Boy Scout troop, that was sponsored by the church, planted approximately 1,000 pine trees. In more recent years, the lodge has undergone many upgrades. A bunkhouse and picnic shelter have been constructed and modern restrooms with shower facilities were added. In addition, there are recreational areas available for kids including two playgrounds and a basketball court.

The only original structure remaining from the Felumlee property, is the garage. The Felumlee farmhouse was razed in 2000. The road that takes you to Vesper Hills is named after the Felumlee family.
