Mount Olivet, Robertson County: Courthouse Hill, Turnpikes, Tobacco, and a Kentucky County Seat

Appalachian Community Histories – Mount Olivet, Robertson County: Courthouse Hill, Turnpikes, Tobacco, and a Kentucky County Seat. Mount Olivet is the kind of Kentucky town whose size can hide the weight of its history. Today it remains a small community in the rolling country of northeastern Kentucky, but for more than a century and a half it has been the political, commercial, religious, and social center of Robertson County. Long before Robertson County existed, people were already building farms, opening roads, establishing churches, carrying the mail, and doing business around the settlement that became Mount Olivet.

Sherburne, Fleming County: From a Licking River Mill to a Forgotten Kentucky Town

Appalachian Community Histories – Sherburne, Fleming County: From a Licking River Mill to a Forgotten Kentucky Town. Along the Licking River in southern Fleming County, close enough to Bath County that the community eventually spilled across the water, there was once a town with ambitions far larger than the quiet settlement that survives today. Sherburne had mills, merchants, doctors, blacksmiths, a seminary, stage traffic, fraternal organizations, and one of the strangest covered bridges ever built in Kentucky. For a time, travelers moving between Mount Sterling and Maysville passed directly through a place that seemed positioned to become one of the more important small commercial centers in northeastern Kentucky.

Muses Mills, Fleming County: Saw Mills, Flour Mills, Stores, and Life Along Fox Creek

Appalachian Community Histories – Muses Mills, Fleming County: Saw Mills, Flour Mills, Stores, and Life Along Fox Creek. Muses Mills is the kind of place that can be easy to pass without realizing how much history once gathered there. The Fleming County community lies along Fox Creek in the southeastern part of the county, roughly twelve miles from Flemingsburg, where the creek and the surrounding roads created a natural center for farms scattered through the hills and valleys. Today there is no courthouse square or incorporated town government to announce its presence. Its history is instead preserved in an old community name, family cemeteries, roads, church connections, government records, and the memory of mills that once gave the place both its livelihood and its identity.

Mount Carmel, Fleming County: Turnpikes, Mail Routes, Civil War, and a Kentucky Crossroads

Appalachian Community Histories – Mount Carmel, Fleming County: Turnpikes, Mail Routes, Civil War, and a Kentucky Crossroads. Mount Carmel can be easy to overlook on a modern map of Fleming County. It is no longer an incorporated town, and the commercial center that once drew travelers, merchants, mail carriers, and farming families has largely given way to a quieter rural community. Yet the surviving historical record tells a much different story. During the nineteenth century, Mount Carmel was important enough to have its own town government, post office, federal mail routes, turnpike companies, cemetery, businesses, school, churches, and a place on some of the most detailed maps of Fleming County.

Craintown, Fleming County: Crains Post Office, School, Store, and Life Along KY 57

Appalachian Community Histories – Craintown, Fleming County: Crains Post Office, School, Store, and Life Along KY 57. A few miles southwest of Flemingsburg, the roads of Fleming County pass through a place that never became a city, never developed a courthouse square, and never left behind the kind of business district that usually makes a community easy to find in the historical record. Yet Craintown survived in another way. Its name remained attached to the landscape, appearing in postal records, newspaper reports, directories, maps, and eventually the road itself.

Interesting Will of Eleanor Miles – Washington County

I share with you today the will of Eleanor Miles, dated January 23, 1805. When she died Eleanor lived in Washington County. She mentions ‘being old and weakly in body, but of sound mind and understanding.’ But the second paragraph lets us know where she lived! She wanted to be buried at Hardin’s Creek Chapel. This land would become Marion County in 1834, the lower half of Washington. Hardin’s Creek is located just a few miles from St. Charles Church, a runoff from Beech Fork River, beginning in the said county close to the town of Manton, flows close to Markers Mark Distillery, continuing southwardly through to St. Charles, and ends at the tiny town of St. Mary just a few miles hence. Since Eleanor wanted to be buried at the chapel I checked my cemetery photos from St. Charles, but I have no photograph of her gravestone.
