Big Bone Methodist Church

Big Bone Methodist Church. . , Big Bone Methodist Church was constructed in 1888 The original congregation, which was organized in 1887 and led by Reverend George Froh, helped in the construction. As was the custom, a social order lodge shared the expense of the construction and upkeep and occupied the upper floor, accessed by a separate stairway., The foundation of the church was made from limestone rock, mostly carried up from Big Bone Creek. What makes the church unique is its simplistic nature that manages to incorporate vernacular Gothic Revival and Queen Anne features into the design. The church is listed on the National Register of Historic Places primarily due to its architectural significance., Big Bone Methodist Church is one of the few two-story churches left standing in Kentucky from that era. Services were held here until the mid- 1980’s, when the congregation disbanded to other area churches. To preserve the church’s historical significance, it was acquired by the state in 2003 as an addition to Big Bone Lick State Park.
