O knihe
During the 1900s, Lawrenceburg offered a textbook example of
the things that make the small towns of the Bluegrass Region
culturally and historically unique. The gently rolling topography is
engraved with abandoned channels, caves, sinks, and springs and is
deeply marked by the Kentucky River cutting through Ordovician
limestone. The ability to use resources provided by the land
determined the lifestyles of area residents prior to and during the
20th century. Agriculture, especially tobacco and dairy; bourbon,
both before and after Prohibition; horses, especially saddlebreds; and
small manufactories gave the economy diversity and stability. Local
businessmen accepted leadership roles in the city and supported
projects that improved recreation, safety, essential services, and the
economy. Social groups promoted community projects, and churches
met spiritual needs. Day-to-day life incorporated the interactions of the
townspeople as they worked together.
