Fall Creek Meeting House
The Fall Creek Meeting House is a historic Quaker meeting house located approximately 3 miles (4.8 km) east of Pendleton, Indiana, United States, on State Road 38 in Fall Creek Township, Madison County, Indiana.
History
In 1834, Enos Adamson deeded 3 acres (12,000 m) east of Pendleton to the Society of Friends. Adamson was paid $15 for the land. In 1836 the congregation built a log house for worship on the ground. In 1857, a frame meeting house was constructed at a cost of $800. The meeting house is representative of the rural meeting houses of the period. The building is still maintained and a pioneer cemetery adjoins the meeting house.
It was listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 1997.
