New KHS historical marker honors Shepherdsville founder By Janene Zaccone FRANKFORT, KY (25 Jul 2016) – The Kentucky Historical Society (KHS) will dedicate a new historical marker at 300 S Buckman Sreet, in Shepherdsville, Bullitt County, on Saturday, August 5, 2016 at 10amCT/11amET. The marker commemorates Shepherdsville founder Adam Shepherd. It is sponsored by the Bullitt County Genealogical Society An explorer and surveyor, Shepherd was born in Pennsylvania in 1757, the son of Peter Schaeffer, a successful grist mill operator. (The family later Anglicized their name to Shepherd.) Adam traveled to Kentucky around 1781 to survey and claim land for his father. He became a justice of the peace in 1793 and later that year founded Shepherdsville, located on 50 acres on the north side of the Salt River. Shepherd served as a member of the Kentucky legislature in 1799, 1800 and 1802. He died in 1819. More than 2,400 historical markers statewide tell Kentucky’s history. More information about the marker application process, a database of markers and their text as well as the Explore Kentucky History app, a virtual tour of markers by theme, is available at history.ky.gov/markers. KHS administers the Kentucky Historical Marker Program in cooperation with the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet. The Kentucky Historical Society, an agency of the Kentucky Tourism, Arts and Heritage Cabinet, was established in 1836 and is committed to helping people understand, cherish and share Kentucky’s history. KHS is fully accredited by the American Alliance of Museums. For more information about KHS and its programs, visit history.ky.gov. This story was posted on 2016-07-25 09:21:52
