 One
of the oldest churches west of the Alleghenies, this state historic
site is located two miles south of Tompkinsville on KY 1446. First
available church records are dated 1798, but tradition claims the
church was established much earlier. The park offers a peaceful setting
for a journey into the past with the uniquely shaped rustic log
building and pioneer graveyard where lie several Revolutionary War
soldiers and Daniel Boone’s younger sister, Hannah. Visitors will also
find tranquil picnic areas and a gift shop featuring traditional art
and crafts. Since settlers came to the area which is now Monroe County as early as the 1780’s, pioneer history enthusiasts find much here to interest them. Many families who later moved further west have roots in Monroe County, so the genealogy section of the local public library is popular with those researching their family trees.
