Part 3/9:
In their discourse, the hosts pointed out a recurring theme in Kentucky history: while many focus on prominent figures and major events, substantial periods are often overlooked. They emphasized that Grant County, like many others, experiences a gap in recorded history that stretches from the early years post-founding to the Civil War era. It was during these explorations into its foundational stories that they uncovered fascinating narratives.
For instance, the discussion pointed to the significant role of Barton Stone, an influential evangelist known for the Cane Ridge Revival in Bourbon County, emphasizing his preaching in Grant County in 1827. Such moments exemplify the rich and diverse history of the area, one that tends to be eclipsed by more widely recognized historical milestones.
