====== Big Bone Methodist Church (BE 296) ====== One of the two [[churches]] located in the [[Big Bone]] region, the congregation was organized in [[1887]]. The initial meeting was held in a barroom, with a building constructed soon after.

The church building is a simple, gable-front building with vernacular Gothic Revival and Queen Anne features. The front and side elevations feature two tiers of lancet-arched windows; the double-hung sashes have opaque central panels surrounded by small panes of colored glass. Over the main doorway is a gabled hood, and the gable-peak carries a starburst pattern bargeboard. The church has been carefully preserved, and still stands on land now part of the [[Big Bone Lick State Park|state park]]. It is currently undergoing repairs. The church was added to the [[National Register]] in 1989. ===== More Information ===== * [[https://bcp.ent.sirsi.net/client/en_US/history/search/results?qu=%22big%20bone%20methodist%20church%22&te=ASSET|Browse photographs]] of Big Bone Methodist Church * [[https://bcp.ent.sirsi.net/client/en_US/search/asset/24348/0|Local history file: Protestant-Big Bone Methodist Church]] ==== Related websites ==== * National Register Informtaion (PDFs), [[https://npgallery.nps.gov/NRHP/AssetDetail?assetID=7099e54a-7ade-41a1-b970-ee316d1bb308|inventory form and photos]] ===== Related Topics ===== * [[Churches]] of Boone County * [[Methodist]] churches * [[Historic buildings]] * [[Big Bone]]
