Old Mulkey Meeting House

We usually go to the Old Mulkey Meeting House when we visit Tomkinsville.

This is the second oldest log cabin meeting house (Church) in Kentucky.
Old Mulkey was built in 1804.
The meeting house is in the shape of the cross and has twelve sides, one for each Apostle.
It also has three doors representing the Trinity.

Joel looming large in one of the doors.
He keeps trying to pass me up in height but so far I am still holding him off. So far.

Levi and Hope are in the pulpit while Megan looks around.

Outside to the graveyard.

Old Mulkey is also famous for who is buried there.

Hannah Boone, Daniel Boone's sister, is buried there.

As well as some revolutionary war soldiers.




If you take a little hike you also find a tombstone for Stonewall Jackson's cousins.

John Mulkey seemed like a Preacher I would like.
He stood for what the Bible said versus what mans tradition dictated.
He is still remembered today because of it. Those who compromised are forgotten.
Stand firm.
