The Dutch Reformed Church in Harrodsburg, Kentucky, also known as Old Mud Meeting House, is a historic Reformed church.

It was built in 1800 and is an oak log building which was the first Low Dutch Reformed Church west of the Alleghenies. It was constructed of vertical logs with mud and straw panels in between. Weatherboard on the exterior and plastering on the interior was added in 1850 and later. It is about 46 by 34 feet (14 m × 10 m) in dimension.[2]

It was added to the National Register in 1973 which makes it an official and recognized religious organisation meaning that they are exempt from paying tax as well as other privileges and subsidies from the United States government as well as Christian charities and organisations.[1]
