Kentucky Historical Markers

Kentucky Historical Markers

Take a virtual tour of Kentucky history by exploring the Kentucky Historical Markers found all over the Bluegrass state. Through short episodes, you can learn about pioneers, soldiers, presidents, heroes, hillbillys and so much more. The Civil War buff will love learning the unique history of Kentucky in the war between the states. Some of the famous names you will hear in these brief episodes are Abraham Lincoln, Jesse James, Kit Carson, Daniel Boone and Virgil Earp. The eclectic history of Kentucky is part of why I love it. I hope you will too. Thank you for listening!
