  6. Thompson Ridge carries long history

    The main branch of Lower Howard&rsquo;s Creek begins in Winchester and flows generally toward the southwest until it gets to Kitt&rsquo;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&rsquo;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 &ldquo;Thompson Ridge&rdquo; that is now included in the Lower Howard&rsquo;s Creek Nature and Heritage Preserve.

  11. Lisletown: A black hamlet

    Following the Civil War, the freed slaves faced daunting challenges. According to one historian, &ldquo;After emancipation on December 18, 1865, Kentucky&rsquo;s 225,000 former slaves were on their own. Literally overnight, tens of thousands of black Kentuckians were scrambling for the basics of life in an often hostile environment.&rdquo; Most had no money, no housing, no land and no job. So many moved to the cities to find work that there was soon a shortage of farm labor on post-bellum estates.
