Red River Meeting House, Religious heritage site and cemetery in Logan County, Kentucky
The Red River Meeting House features a wooden structure built to replicate the original church, surrounded by gravestones and natural landscape in central Kentucky.
The site gained prominence in 1800 as the location of the first religious camp meeting in the United States, marking the start of the Second Great Awakening movement.
Monthly services continue at the Meeting House, maintaining Presbyterian traditions while connecting current generations with early American religious practices and community values.
Visitors can access the grounds from dawn until dusk throughout the year, with special arrangements available for group tours and cemetery documentation.
The cemetery contains a gravestone with the Twenty-third Psalm inscribed in Gaelic on William McPherson's memorial, reflecting the Scottish heritage of early settlers.
