First 2023 Saturday Session at Genealogy & History Research Ctr

By Mike Watson

Most early settlers in the Adair County area came into the region one of two ways--Through the Cumberland Gap, then north west into south central Kentucky, or down the Ohio River to Limestone, now Maysville, or to the Falls of the Ohio, now Louisville, then overland into the interior.

Following animal trails--primarily buffalo and elk--early settlers walked or rode horseback as they came to the settlement areas. Only later did wheeled vehicles traverse the tracks into the areas of growing population.

Learn more about migration into Kentucky and Adair County at our next Saturday Session, from NoonCT to 2pmCT on Saturday, April 1, 2023, at the Adair Genealogy & History Research Center.


The session is sponsored by the Adair County Genealogical Society and the Adair Genealogy & History Research Center of the Adair County Public Library.

The Adair County Genealogy and History Research Center is located next door to the Adair County Public Library, at 307 Greensburg Street, Columbia, KY. For more information, email adairgenealogy@gmail.com, call 270.380.1024, or follow our facebook history pages.
