St. John the Baptist Roman Catholic Church
St. John the Baptist Roman Catholic Church, Roman Catholic church in Wilder, US.
The stone structure of St. John the Baptist Church stands at 1307 John's Hill Road, featuring Georgian architectural elements with classic symmetrical design.
Nine German immigrant families constructed the stone church in 1858, replacing an earlier log cabin built on John's Hill Road in 1847.
The church represents the German immigrant heritage of Kentucky, maintaining religious traditions that span more than 170 years in the community.
Located near Northern Kentucky University, the church welcomes visitors and maintains regular services at its position overlooking the Licking River.
During the American Civil War, the church's position on John's Hill served as a defensive position for protecting Cincinnati.
