Welcome to Harrodsburg Sestercentennial




Welcome to the Harrodsburg Sestercentennial page! We are here to celebrate the upcoming 250th anniversary of the founding of Harrodsburg, the first permanent English settlement west of the Allegheny Mountains.

This site will keep you updated on all the happenings in Harrodsburg as we march toward the Sestercentennial.

Also, for more Harrodsburg information, check out the pages for my books. They are available online, but you can also send me an email at: bobbirightmyer@outlook.com, or leave a comment here. I can send you a book anywhere within the United States.

    I'm looking for old photos of Fountain Bleu stables and/or Boise House built in 1817. Also interested in any memoriabilia of early settler Andrew Gore (of Gore's spring fame).
