Very interesting historical Kentucky historical treasure. There is a moderator, who knowledgeably answers questions and gives little tidbits of history. Definitely worth a stop...

This is a must for those whose religious roots are from Church of Christ, Christian or Disciples of Christ. The old meeting house is enshrined in a rock structure to protect it. It's a very peaceful and beautiful drive, and I'm so glad we drove out of our way to visit.

Very quiet and peaceful. An interesting part of US history. Self- guided tour. Many of the occupants of the cemetery still have family living nearby. Very well-maintained shrine.

About six miles outside of Paris Ky. Very well kept. Lady giving the tours is very knowledgeable and nice. Museum is worth your time as well. Best part is that it's free

I will never forget the first time a friend took me to the this magical place. You can feel the history and imagine the grounds the way it was during the yearly gathering. There is a peaceful feeling that you cannot deny while on the grounds. Find this place, it is a must visit!

Interesting church history. Very old meeting house which still holds services. Our church tries to go there annually and have a service and outdoor picnic afterwards.

Having taken Dr BJ Humble's church history class at Abilene Christian Univ. I have always wanted to see Cane Ridge. This is an amazing well preserved landmark that brings to life the stories of how the Christian Church and the Churches of Christ began. Its a little hard to find but well worth the extra time and miles to get there if your traveling through Kentucky.

If you enjoy the history of our Christian faith in the United States, do not miss Cane Ridge. It is tucked in the fields of central KY, and not really on anyone's beaten path. Thus, many never see the wonderful preservation work done to save the meeting house. The stone building that was built around the shrine is beautiful in its own right. You will receive personal attention from the on site curator!Former state historian, Thomas Clark, lists this as one of the 11 places you should see in Kentucky. You know, he was right!

This inauspicious out-of-the-way rustic pioneer chapel is a relatively ignored American icon in the history of our indigenous religions. Yes, Catholic, Baptist, Lutheran, Episcopalian, and other beliefs merged in a frenzy in 1801 that resulted in the foundation of a new denomination (Disciples of Christ) that was intended to be a common ground for all believers. Of course, the end result was just another Christrian strain. But this time it was uniquely American. And here is where it began,

This 1791 building, the largest single-room log structure in North America, was one of the sites of the church restoration movement in the U. S. The structure has been preserved by the building of an outside structure that protects it from the elements. We began our visit in the Barton W. Stone Memorial Museum which contains artifacts of church history as well as artifacts that show the history of the times. At the meeting house, the enthusiastic 80-year-old guide encourages everyone to go up to the pulpit to get a better perspective of the building -- it's much bigger than you might think. Between the main level and the balcony, the building has seated as many as 500 people. It is still in use for weddings and other special events.
