Welcome to my Bourbon County, Kentucky, history and genealogy web site. If you are a student of the Bluegrass region of Kentucky, this web site should be a real treat. Literally hundreds of pages of information is contained within this site and, chances are, you will return time and again for more data.

My interest in Bourbon County, Kentucky, began several years ago as I researched the Shawhan clan of Bourbon and Harrison Counties. The more I studied this family the more I discovered the rich and exceptionally interesting history of this region. To the left (under Bourbon County, Kentucky), you will find a listing of the many pieces of information I have gathered about the county and its people.
