Where In The World?

Unusual place names evoke a sense of mystery and wonder. How did a place come to be called Barefoot or Battle Row? Where in the world were the Sycamore Forest and Blue Ball? Researching these names often reveals fascinating stories about local history families events and politics. Clark County Kentucky is blessed with many such interesting places. The articles in this book are collected from a column in the Winchester Sun called Where in the World? Each article describes an historic place name in Clark County some well known some not so well known. The articles were written for the Bluegrass Heritage Museum in hopes of fostering an interest in local history and the museum. This book is intended to do the same. This work includes one hundred articles that appeared in the newspaper between January 6 2005 and August 23 2007. A few of the articles were updated for this publication when additional information became available.
