Photographed with a drone, this is just outside of Harrodsburg in Central Kentucky. Below is some background of the Old Mud Church, which was built in 1800. It is from a book introduction on Amazon.com of The History of Low* Dutch Slavery from New Netherlands to Kentucky and Beyond by Judith Smith Cassidy, published in 2020.
"The Dutch West India Company, who [recte which] established the New Netherland Colony, later gave permission for colonists to acquire slaves, which [recte who] were imported [recte forced to immigrate to the U.S.] from Curacao...The number of slaves owned by individuals increased by the time families moved to New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and later to Kentucky. Determined to buy a large area of land where they could retain their Dutch and Huguenot language and live as a congregation, they departed these areas settling in the areas of Mercer, Henry, and Shelby Counties, Kentucky ca. 1780-1783. While many settled near Harrodsburg in Mercer County, where the Salt River Congregation (Old Mud Church) was established, others settled the Low Dutch Tract in Shelby and Henry Counties which they divided into large tracts of land of 2,000 acres or more."
*Note: Low Dutch is Dutch and High Dutch is German.
