  1. Thompson Ridge carries long history

    The main branch of Lower Howard’s Creek begins in Winchester and flows generally toward the southwest until it gets to Kitt’s Hole near the Kentucky River. This deep pool takes its name, according to legend, from a man named Kitt who supposedly drowned there. From Kitt’s Hole, the creek makes a sharp turn to the north then to the east, passing the mouth of Deep Branch, before finally turning to flow almost due south. This horseshoe bend encloses an area of about 15 acres called “Thompson Ridge” that is now included in the Lower Howard’s Creek Nature and Heritage Preserve.

  2. The history of Bean Brothers Carriage Shop and Winchester's first fire station

    The subject for this article presented itself in the form of a curious photograph on the Internet at the Kentuckiana Digital Library. The photo is labeled “Beau Brothers Carriage Shop” and is credited to the noted Winchester photographer A. J. Earp. A search for the Beau brothers in newspapers, city directories and the census turned up nothing. There is, however, a prominent Clark County family with a close spelling, Bean, which could have been misread if someone transcribed a cursive “n” as a “u.”
