  2. Looking Back: Forgotten pioneer settlements on the Hanging Fork

    When one travels east along Ky. 78 — the historic Cumberland Trace — from Hustonville towards Stanford, the road passes by the Turnersville Baptist Church in the black community that is generally known as Chicken Bristle. This settlement began shortly after the Civil War, when the Brown family gave the bottom lands along the banks of the Hanging Fork Creek to their former slaves, on which to build their own homes. There is no historical marker today to tell of the origins of this community. There is no historical marker in this area to tell of the pioneer era history, as well. This is truly unfortunate because this community at the junction of Ky. 78 and Murphy Road is rich in pioneer history.

  4. Harry Enoch's Where in the World: G. Lee Wainscott, the Ale-8-One man

    With three different rail lines coming through the city, turn-of-the-century Winchester was something of a boomtown. Business opportunities at the close of the 1900s brought a number of visionary men to Clark County seeking to make their fortunes. One of these was G. Lee Wainscott, soft drink inventor and founder of the highly successful Ale-8-One Bottling Co. He was born in Owenton, Ky., in 1867, the son of George W. and Elizabeth (Hancock) Wainscott. His parents gave him the name “Lee,” to which he later added “George” because he wanted to be referred to as “G. Lee Wainscott.” Lee had a fascinating career, of which we can only touch on the highlights here.

  10. "All Aboard": John Henry, Casey Jones part of railroad history

    He was 6 feet tall, weighed about 200 pounds, and thought a 20-pound hammer was light. As the story goes, John Henry, an American folk hero, raced against a steam-powered hammer and won, only to die in victory with his hammer in his hand. He has been the subject of countless songs, stories, plays, and novels and plays an integral part in railway folklore, as focused on in the Danville Pediatrics’ “All Aboard” train exhibit at the Community Arts Center.
