Bell's Tavern - photo taken in 1999. The five-acre tract houses the stone remains of hand-cut stone walls. The property has been listed in the National Register of Historic Places, based on its architecture. Efforts have begun to expand the National Register nomination to include various aspects of the site, including three existing well and cistern sites, remains of an ice house, and the nineteenth century Bell-Proctor family cemetery. An archaeological field study of the site is planned. |
Big Blue Spring - is now located in Metaclfe Co., but at the time of early ssettlement, was in Barren Co. It was an early landmark, where two Indian trails crossed and was used as a reference point for early surveys in the area.

RAGE IN 1920 - This is how the corner of Main and Race Streets looked in 1920. Standing on the corner was a bank building now occupied by L.C. Ellis Drugs. The most unusual thing in this picture, however, is the number of unclaimed parking spaces. Today are simply not available like that today. This picture was at the corner of North Race Street and West Washington Street in Glasgow. |
