Unusual place names evoke a sense of mystery and wonder. How did a
place come to be called "Barefoot" or "Battle Row"? Where in the
world were the "Sycamore Forest" and "Blue Ball"? Researching these
names often reveals fascinating stories about local history,
families, events, and politics. Clark County, Kentucky is blessed
with many such interesting places. The articles in this book are
collected from a column in the Winchester Sun called "Where in the
World?" Each article describes an historic place name in Clark
County, some well known, some not so well known. The articles were
written for the Bluegrass Heritage Museum in hopes of fostering an
interest in local history and the museum. This book is intended to
do the same. This work includes one hundred articles that appeared
in the newspaper between January 6, 2005 and August 23, 2007. A few
of the articles were updated for this publication when additional
information became available.
