Walnut Ridge Friends Meetinghouse is a historic Quaker meeting house located in Ripley Township, Rush County, Indiana. It was originally built in 1826 as a log cabin, burned by The Knights of The Golden Circle, a group of Southern sympathizers in 1864, and rebuilt in 1866, and is a one-story, vernacular Italianate style brick building with a moderately pitched gable roof. It features a projecting octagonal entrance bay added in 1890 at the time of an extensive renovation. The building was remodeled in 1972 and a fellowship room addition constructed in 1976. The Walnut Ridge Meeting was established in 1827.[1]
It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984.
