Historic Sites Preservation

The Society, working in conjunction with the Kentucky Heritage Council and local government, has conducted several historic site surveys and was actively involved in the acquisition and preservation of property associated with the Battle of Richmond. In November 2001 the society acquired the 62-acre Barnett-Gibbs-Herndon Civil War farm site, located six miles south of Richmond on Battlefield Memorial Highway (US 421). The farm became part of the Madison County Park system in 2005. The Society along with the Battle of Richmond Association assisted the county in the early stages of managing and interpreting the property.

Bluegrass Trust for Historic Preservation

Additionally, the Society coordinates the Bluegrass Trust for Historic Preservation Plaque Program for the county, which is part of a larger effort to identify and preserve significant historical sites in Central Kentucky. For more information click here .
