Presbyterian Church Union Hospital
By best estimate, this church was built about 1834 as a joint effort of the local Presbyterian congregation and the Munfordville Masonic Lodge. The first floor was used by the church and the second by the Masons.
During the Civil War, the building was used as a hospital by the Union garrison.
The winter of 1861-1862 was unusually severe and thousands of troops fell victim to rheumatism, pneumonia, measles, mumps, and dysentery. In October of 1863, only one gun shot victim was admitted. The last medical personnel did not leave Munfordville until six months after the end of the war.
