Taylorsville Lake

Taylorsville Lake is a 3,050-acre (1,230 ha) artificial lake or reservoir located mainly in Spencer County, Kentucky. Construction by the United States Army Corps of Engineers started in 1974, and flooding began in 1983. The total cost of the lake was $103 million. It is about 18.5 miles (29.8 km) long. Backwater areas of the lake are also located in Nelson County and Anderson County. The dam is located on the Salt River, and it is estimated that it has prevented more than $30.5 million in flood damages since it became operational. The lake is named for Taylorsville, the county seat of Spencer County, and today serves as a major economic source for Spencer County, as well as a popular fishing area. Taylorsville Lake State Park occupies a portion of the lake's northern shore. Dam Taylorsville Lake Dam (National ID # KY00051), owned and operated by the Corps of Engineers, is an earthen structure 162 feet (49 m) high, 1,280 feet (390 m) long at its crest, and was constructed for flood control and recreation. Its reservoir has a normal surface area of 4.8 square miles (12 km2) and a maximum capacity of 291,670 acre-feet. Ecology The lake's water is murky year round and contains a large amount of silt washed down from agricultural runoff up river. During the lake's creation there was a large amount of standing timber in the lake that still remains today. This timber provides cover for much of the lake's wildlife. Blue herons are a common sight feeding upon the lake's ample supply of shad. Major fish species in the lake are largemouth bass, hybrid striped bass, white crappie, black crappie, channel catfish, blue catfish, and freshwater drum perch. Recreation On weekends with good weather, the lake is usually fairly crowded, especially around holidays. Boaters new to the lake should use caution when leaving the river channel that runs through the lake due to standing timber that can sometimes be just under the water surface. The two most popular boat ramps found in the northwestern part of the lake are Settlers Trace and Possum Ridge, also known as the State Park Ramp. There are two smaller boat ramps upstream, Chowning Lane and Van Buren. There is a small waterskiing course on the lake. Waterskiing, wakeboarding, tubing, jet skiing, fishing, and boating are popular on the lake. Due to the lake's popularity and proximity to a major city (the closest large lake to Louisville), fishing pressure on the lake is high, which can make fishing difficult. Fishing with jugs for catfish is a common sight.

Riverside Drive Historic District

The Riverside Drive Historic District is a historic district located at the west bank of the confluence of the Licking River and the Ohio River in Covington, Kentucky, directly across from Cincinnati, Ohio. Prior to the city of Covington's founding, George Rogers Clark used the area as a mustering spot for incursions against the Indians from Ohio who were raiding Kentucky, and then later for organizing troops for his Illinois campaign. It is believed that the first white settlers of the Greater Cincinnati area chose the Riverside Drive area for their settlement. Riverside Drive was a popular place to build the finest houses in Covington, with many still standing from the early 19th century. Over thirty of the buildings in the district are considered exceptional samples of their architectural style. There are several independently notable buildings in the district. The Daniel Carter Beard Boyhood Home was the boyhood home of Daniel Carter Beard, founder of the Boy Scouts of America, and is a National Historic Landmark. The 1815-built Thomas Carneal House, the first brick house in Covington, is a Georgian-style domicile reminiscent of Italian architect Andrea Palladio; it still features a tunnel, leading to the Licking River, that allowed the owners to help slaves escaping via the Underground Railroad. Prominent visitors to the house included the Marquis de Lafayette, Henry Clay, Andrew Jackson, and Daniel Webster. Seven bronze statues of prominent figures in the history of the area are placed in lifelike poses on riverside benches. These include James Bradley, Daniel Carter Beard, John James Audubon, and Chief Little Turtle. Gallery See also Licking Riverside Historic District References
Lake Linville

Lake Linville is a 356-acre (1.44 km2) reservoir in Rockcastle County, Kentucky.

Shanty Hollow Lake

Shanty Hollow Lake is a 135-acre (0.55 km2) reservoir mostly in Warren County, Kentucky, but also extending into Edmonson County. It was constructed in 1949, and has opened for fishing in 1951. The lake is located approximately 17 miles (27 km) north of Bowling Green and is used for fishing. Fish which may be taken from the lake include largemouth bass, bluegill, redear sunfish, black crappie, white crappie, warmouth, channel catfish, and common carp. Shanty Hollow Lake is a man-made lake, created by the damming of Clay Lick Creek, which is a tributary of the nearby Green River. Warmouth or Walleye have not been seen in this lake for years. It is a lake fed by both stream and spring. Shanty Hollow has a unique sandstone geology, underlying shale and subsequent limestone. It is popular with the local population for rock climbing and rappelling. It has a waterfall and a spring. Most of the land surrounding the lake is privately owned. There are many fossil molds and impressions of wood and bark structures in the sandstone facies, and many of these have been replaced with iron concretions. The lake has a boat ramp and parking area that are in general to major disrepair. Trash and stray or drop off animals are a continued problem due to the rural location of the lake. Vandalism is highly present in the parking area. The main trail is to the right of the parking area, leading down towards the sandstone bluffs and an area called White Buffalo; it is called this due to a pastel drawing of a white buffalo or wolf drawn on the palisades of a box type canyon. Multiple climbing routes are located along this trail with numerous rock shelters and boulders to climb. Further down, the trail gains elevation and leads to a unique section of rock where the water has carved a zig-zag of formations and least 12 feet deep and 30 feet long; this is known affectionately as the "Mini Grand Canyon". Past numerous dripping springs lies a 150 feet (46 m) waterfall. This area is used as a free fall rappel area and has a picnic area. Across the creek are more sandstone bluffs and rock shelters that contain delicate wind formed structures in the sandstone known as honeycomb formations. Shanty Hollow lake is considered one of the top ten most unusual and beautiful places in South Central Kentucky. See also Lakes portal References
Robinson Forest

The Robinson Forest is a research, education, and extension forest owned by the University of Kentucky and managed by the Department of Forestry in the College of Agriculture, Food, and Environment. The forest covers 14,786 acres (59.84 km2) in Breathitt, Knott and Perry counties in Kentucky's Cumberland Plateau region. The main block of Robinson Forest contains approximately 10,000 contiguous acres while the remaining acreage is found in outlying tracts. History In 1908, E.O Robinson and Fredrick W. Mowbray of the Mowbray-Robinson Lumber Company based out of Cincinnati, Ohio purchased nearly 15,000 acres (61 km2) of land in Perry, Knott and Breathitt counties in Kentucky. They bought most of that land from Miles Back (1853–1940). By 1914 a narrow gauge railroad was constructed, connecting the once isolated region to the sawmills in West Irvine and Quicksand, thereby providing access to the Louisville and Nashville Railroad. However, by 1922 the majority of the timber had been extracted and E.O. Robinson decided to donate the land to the University of Kentucky. Robinson's main intention for donating the land was for the establishment of an agricultural research facility for the purpose of agricultural experimental work and teaching, and for the practical demonstration of reforestation. As a way to transfer the tract, he set up the E.O. Robinson Mountain Fund in 1923. This fund not only promoted land management but also called for the general improvement of welfare and education in the residents of Eastern Kentucky. By 1925, workers from the university moved to the forest and work began on removing the former structures and forest regeneration began in certain areas. The first forester, C.H. Burrage, spent several years mapping property boundaries and organizing fire protection. From 1933 to 1937, the Civilian Conservation Corps was involved in many projects within the forest including: building bridges, fire towers, and fire breaks; installing telephone lines; establishing tree plantations; doing timber stand improvements; and improving roads. They also removed American chestnuts that had been killed by the chestnut blight. These logs were then used in 1939 by the National Youth Authority to build the cabins and other facilities on present-day Boardinghouse Branch. In 1947, the forest also became a wildlife restoration area. White-tailed deer, wild turkey, and ruffed grouse were successfully stocked. In 1970, the University of Kentucky's Department of Forestry was established, creating new interest in forestry and water quality. Since that time management of the forest has been performed by the department operating under guidelines approved by the University of Kentucky's Board of Trustees. Today, Robinson Forest serves as one of the largest educational forests east of the Mississippi River.

Ronald–Brennan House

The Ronald–Brennan House, often referred to as just the Brennan House, is a historic Italianate townhouse located in Downtown Louisville, Kentucky. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on August 11, 1975. The house was voted one of the top ten favorite buildings in Louisville by local residents in a contest by The Courier-Journal. History The house was built in 1868 for tobacco merchant Francis Ronald. In 1884, it was sold for $12,000 to Thomas Brennan, an equipment manufacturer and inventor who was originally from Ireland. He and his wife, Anna, had eight children who grew up in the house. Thomas Brennan (1838–1914) received accolades for his inventions, including two prizes at the 1893 Chicago World's Fair. He was co-owner and vice president of Brennan & Co., SouthWestern Agricultural Works, a manufacturer of farm machinery. The three-story townhouse has six bedrooms and features 16-foot ceilings. It was designed with stained-glass windows, an expansive veranda, hand-carved marble and slate mantels, and crystal chandeliers. The Brennan home was among the first in Louisville to have electric lights. Two of the Brennan sons became doctors, and one of them, Dr. J. A. O. Brennan, added a north wing to the house in 1912 for medical office space with waiting and exam rooms. One of Brennan's sons continued to live in the house until his death in 1963. At that time, the house was left to the Filson Club. The house was operated by the Filson Club (today called The Filson Historical Society) as a house museum from 1969 until 1992, when a non-profit organization was created by the club to manage the house, as well as to help defray the costs of maintaining it. Today The Brennan House is now the home of Vital Sites (formerly Louisville Preservation Fund), a non-profit organization focused on revitalizing Louisville through strategic redevelopment of abandoned or neglected spaces. The house is available for group tours and can be rented for weddings, parties, and other events. Annual Victorian holiday tours are held at the house. Inside, the house has been preserved with original interior finishes and lighting. The furnishings are from the Brennan family's personal collection. Some of the original items in the house include family photographs, a signed Tiffany lamp, hand-carved furniture, a stained glass coat of arms by Louisville artist Bernard Alberts, and steamer trunks filled with world travel memorabilia. The medical office addition has been preserved with an exam table, equipment and medical volumes from the early 20th century. The house has been reported as a haunted site in Louisville.

Russell, Louisville

Russell is a neighborhood immediately west of downtown Louisville, Kentucky, U.S.. It is nicknamed "Louisville's Harlem". It was named for renowned African American educator and Bloomfield, Kentucky native, Harvey Clarence Russell Sr. Its boundaries are West Market Street, 9th Street, West Broadway and I-264. History Development began in the 1870s as street car lines were extended to the area. The area was considered one of Louisville's most fashionable in its early years with many affluent white families building elegant mansion homes on Walnut, Chestnut Street, and Jefferson Streets, while working class blacks and whites lived in shotgun houses on adjacent streets. By the 1890s many white families began leaving the area for what would become Old Louisville and the east end, and both middle and working class blacks quickly moved into the area. By the 1940s Russell had become "Louisville's Harlem" as African American theaters, restaurants, and night clubs lined area streets. However, in the years following World War II many of the middle class blacks left for newly integrated neighborhoods on the south and east ends. Urban renewal efforts in the 1960s had the area's business districts razed and many public housing units built. America's first public library open to African-Americans is in Russell. The Western Branch of the Louisville Free Public Library, on 10th Street off Chestnut, opened in 1908. Chef Darnell Ferguson is the former owner of Tha Drippin Crab restaurant in Russell. Demographics As of 2000, the population of Russell was 9,060.[1] See also Harvey C. Russell Jr. References ^ "Community Resource Network". Retrieved November 18, 2005.

Williamsburg (Kentucky)

Williamsburg ist eine Stadt im Bundesstaat Kentucky in den Vereinigten Staaten und der Verwaltungssitz (County Seat) des Whitley County. Das U.S. Census Bureau hat bei der Volkszählung 2020 eine Einwohnerzahl von 5326 ermittelt. Geschichte Williamsburg war bei den frühen europäisch-amerikanischen Siedlern zunächst als Spring Ford bekannt, nach einer nahe gelegenen Furt, die den Cumberland River kreuzte. Am 19. April 1818 fand im Haus von Samuel Cox die erste Sitzung des Whitley County Court statt. Dieses erste Gericht ernannte lokale Beamte sowie Constables, die mit der County-Miliz zusammenarbeiteten. Die Stadt wurde einfach als Whitley Courthouse bekannt. Im Jahr 1882 wurde die Stadt in Williamsburgh umbenannt, und die Schreibweise wurde 1890 in das heutige Williamsburg geändert. Das anfängliche Wachstum der Stadt wurde durch drei Süßwasserquellen in der Gegend angekurbelt. Die Siedler wurden von dieser Wasserquelle angezogen. Später entwickelten sie den Kohlebergbau und die Holzindustrie, basierend auf den natürlichen Ressourcen der Gegend. Der Bau der Louisville and Nashville Railroad (L&N) zur Stadt im Jahr 1883 stimulierte neues Wachstum. Mit dem späteren Niedergang der Kohleindustrie begann das Wachstum der Stadt allerdings zu stagnieren. Demografie Nach der Schätzung von 2019 leben in Williamsburg 5274 Menschen. Die Bevölkerung teilte sich 2017 auf in 92,9 % nicht-hispanische Weiße, 2,9 % Afroamerikaner, 0,1 % amerikanische Ureinwohner, 0,8 % Asiaten und 1,5 % mit zwei oder mehr Ethnizitäten. Hispanics oder Latinos aller Ethnien machten 1,7 % der Bevölkerung aus. Das mittlere Haushaltseinkommen lag bei 33.596 US-Dollar und die Armutsquote bei 22,0 %. Bildung Der Campus der University of the Cumberlands (ehemals Cumberland College) befindet sich auf dem College Hill, angrenzend an das Stadtzentrum von Williamsburg.
