Zion Meetinghouse and School (also known as Zion Baptist Church and School) is a historic Baptist church about three miles south of Columbia, Kentucky. The congregation was formed in 1802 and a log meetinghouse was soon constructed. The current meetinghouse was built in 1837 out of locally made brick laid in Flemish bond on a stone foundation. After a fire, the building was reconstructed above the roofline in 1877. About 100 feet west of the meetinghouse, a two-story brick school was built in 1864, with a later frame addition at the entrance. The school was later used by the public school system.
