Photos accompany this story

By Lila Ford

On Saturday, July 8, 2006, the local Jane Lampton Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution, toured the Jack Jouett home in Versailles, KY.



Jack Jouett, as every Kentucky school child knows, is the Kentuckian who rode from Louisa, KY, to Charlottesville, VA, to save Thomas Jefferson and other signers of the Declaration of Independence from capture by a British force known as the Green Dragoons.

Jouett helped Kentucky become a state, and, Sallie, the horse he rode on that historic 40 mile trip, left a long line of Kentucky thoroughbreds.

DAR members who made the visit are Julie Skeeters, Rose Anderson, Nancy Willis, Jane Grant, Carolyn Gupton, Ann Popplewell, and Rita Johnson. For more information on Jack Jouett and his ride, Click here
