註釋During the 1900s, Lawrenceburg offered a textbook example of

the things that make the small towns of the Bluegrass Region

culturally and historically unique. The gently rolling topography is

engraved with abandoned channels, caves, sinks, and springs and is

deeply marked by the Kentucky River cutting through Ordovician

limestone. The ability to use resources provided by the land

determined the lifestyles of area residents prior to and during the

20th century. Agriculture, especially tobacco and dairy; bourbon,

both before and after Prohibition; horses, especially saddlebreds; and

small manufactories gave the economy diversity and stability. Local

businessmen accepted leadership roles in the city and supported

projects that improved recreation, safety, essential services, and the

economy. Social groups promoted community projects, and churches

met spiritual needs. Day-to-day life incorporated the interactions of the

townspeople as they worked together.
