Big Bone Methodist Church was constructed in 1888 by a congregation organized in 1887 and led by Reverend George Froh, which helped build it. Following a common custom, a social order lodge shared the expense of construction and upkeep and occupied the upper floor, reached by a separate stairway. Its foundation was made of limestone rock, mostly carried up from Big Bone Creek. The church is notable for a simple design that incorporates vernacular Gothic Revival and Queen Anne features, and it is listed on the National Register of Historic Places primarily for its architectural significance. It is one of the few two-story churches from that era still standing in Kentucky. Services continued there until the mid-1980s, when the congregation dispersed to other area churches, and in 2003 the state acquired the building as an addition to Big Bone Lick State Park to preserve its historical significance.
