Nestled in the bluegrass region of central Kentucky, Garrard County traces its pioneer beginnings to the mid-1770s. Officially founded in 1797, the county remains predominantly rural to this day. Its citizens are patriotic, service-oriented, and proud of their communities and ancestors. In this volume, county resident Rita Mackin Fox has gathered more than 200 photographs, focusing primarily on residents on the farm, in towns and at school, work, worship and play. Each image will bring back memories or provide a glimpse of what life was like for earlier residents.
Fox also pays tribute to some notable people and events, including Kentucky Mountain Boy Bradley Kincaid, Carrie A. Nation, possible Uncle Tom's Cabin connections and a visit by a former king of England. This volume also contains images that show the formation of Herrington Lake, now a major recreation and tourism area.
