Those of you that live in and/or have travelled around Kentucky are familiar with the the bronze highway markers that seem to pop up everywhere. What we have found on our journey so is, they are full of amazing facts and information about local history. Of course for us trying to see all 120 counties in 12 short months there is no way we can see all of the markers.
Having enjoyed reading all the ones we've seen, I started wondering if there was a website that lists them all. And sure enough, there is. It is maintained by the Kentucky Historical Society. Follow this link to visit the page for yourself. It lists all the markers in the state. You can sort them by county, keyword or category. Not only does it give you the title, but it also has all the information printed on the marker as well.
If you're interested in Kentucky History or the history of your local county, this site is a great place to begin you research.
