The original section of Bullittsburg Baptist Church dates to 1819 and is home to the oldest active church in Boone County. The congregation was founded in 1794 and, by 1797, was worshiping in a log church. Many of Boone County’s Baptist churches were organized with the assistance of Bullittsburg Baptist. In 1873 local stonemason William Batterson built the keyhole-shaped stone baptismal pool, which is still used occasionally for baptisms. A burial vault of tooled ashlar limestone, which may also have been the work of Batterson, was added in 1878. Both are among the finest examples of masonry work in the county. The church cemetery, bounded by a wrought-iron fence, was established in the 1860s.
