As a new year begins, the Kentucky Faith Trail invites you to explore the rich history of faith that has shaped communities and inspired generations. From humble log meeting houses to awe-inspiring cathedrals, Kentucky’s early churches tell the story of perseverance, devotion, and pioneering spirit. Faith on the Frontier Kentucky’s faith history began with its earliest settlers, who carried their beliefs across the Southern wilderness to establish communities of worship. Daniel Boone’s declaration that “Heaven must be a Kentucky kind of place” in 1769 set the stage for pioneers to build not only new homes but also sanctuaries of faith. The Old Mud Meeting House in Harrodsburg was constructed in 1800 and embodies this pioneer spirit as one of Kentucky’s earliest churches. Built by Dutch Reformed settlers using native clay, straw, and logs, its simple yet sturdy design reflects the settlers’ dedication to creating a spiritual refuge in the frontier.
