Old Mulkey Meetinghouse State Historic Site
Old Mulkey Meetinghouse State Historic Site, Pioneer religious site in Tompkinsville, United States.
The Old Mulkey Meetinghouse features a distinct twelve-cornered log structure with three separate doors arranged in a cross pattern spanning 50 feet by 30 feet.
Built in 1804 as Mill Creek Baptist Church, the meetinghouse became part of the Kentucky State Park system in 1931 and received National Historic Place designation in 1973.
The cemetery contains graves of Revolutionary War soldiers and Hannah Boone, sister of frontiersman Daniel Boone, representing early American settlement patterns.
Visitors can explore the preserved log meetinghouse, examine the adjacent cemetery, and learn about pioneer life through educational displays across the 20-acre park grounds.
The congregation used heated soapstones wrapped in fabric for warmth during services, as the building was constructed without a traditional heating system.
