Just an hour east of Cincinnati, along the winding Ohio River, lies Maysville. Once known as Limestone, this town welcomed Kentucky’s earliest pioneers, was home to frontier skirmishes and Civil War battles, and has evolved into a thriving river community shaped by generations of exceptional individuals.
Behringer-Crawford Museum’s next NKY History Hour will share these stories in “Maysville-Mason County: A Fascinating History with a Cast of Remarkable Characters,” Tuesday, September 23, at 6:30 p.m., with guest speaker Danny Weddle.
Join Weddle as he highlights the pioneers, explorers, generals, doctors, politicians and entrepreneurs who shaped Maysville—and discover how their influence reached far beyond Kentucky.
NKY History Hour is a virtual program, offered exclusively online. Participation is free, but registration is required to join via Zoom.
