Old East Fork School, Bridgeport, KY History walks with friend fill in gaps on history of the Bridgeport area of Metcalfe County, KY just down the hill from Keltnertown and Bennett's Ridge in Adair. Johnnietta Jessie urges greater preservation efforts Click on headline for story plus photo By Johnnietta Jessie My friend George-Etta Knight Sullivan and I walk on Bridgeport, Keltner Rd. (Hwy. 544) sometimes in the late afternoon. We take the camera with us to capture anything we might find interesting and she tells me history of the area. The accompanying picture is of the East Fork School just past her house. George-Etta's grandmother, Mary Pedigo Hill, taught there and her mother, Janice Knight, as a young woman taught there also. She said that was around 1950 when her mother was teacher for one year, she can not remember the dates her grandmother was teacher. But she said her grandmother was young and just out of school herself. She came from Edmonton on horse back and boarded with a family. I think we need to preserve the history of our communities for our children and grandchildren. This story was posted on 2009-08-03 09:45:32
