Cane Ridge, Kentucky

Cane Ridge was the site of a huge camp meeting in 1801, the Cane Ridge Revival, that drew thousands of people and had a lasting influence as one of the landmark events of the Second Great Awakening, which took place largely in frontier areas of the United States.

The event was led by eighteen Presbyterian ministers, but numerous Methodist and Baptist preachers also spoke and assisted.

The ridge was named by the explorer Daniel Boone, who had noticed a form of bamboo growing there.

The 1791 Cane Ridge Meeting House is believed to be the largest single-room log structure in North America.

Led by Barton Stone, the Cane Ridge Revival is associated with the development of what became known as the Restoration Movement.
