Now, I was like I've 0:04:27.120 --> 0:04:28.640 said this before. That was in the air when everybody 0:04:28.640 --> 0:04:31.520 would gt their genes started. All these people would come 0:04:31.560 --> 0:04:33.440 in and they'd be like extra starch, and you'd look 0:04:33.440 --> 0:04:35.440 at them and go okay, and they go extra start 0:04:35.800 --> 0:04:38.920 and you'd give them jeans that were standing up by themselves.

It was all right, Uh, we 0:04:49.400 --> 0:04:52.279 were doing the counties. Yes, Uh, you gotta have to 0:04:52.279 --> 0:04:53.880 remind me where we put where we left off. 0:04:53.920 --> 0:04:56.080 We have Butler in Caldwell County. 0:04:56.160 --> 0:04:57.480 All right, so Butler County. 0:04:57.600 --> 0:05:01.640 Is that Morgantown, morgan Field that Morgantown, correct. 0:05:01.400 --> 0:05:04.599 Morgantown one of our first affiliates was I think Morganfield 0:05:04.720 --> 0:05:08.040 Field was our first first one, but Morgantown. 0:05:07.440 --> 0:05:08.520 Came right after. 0:05:08.800 --> 0:05:10.880 Well, part of the reason Morgantown came right after is 0:05:10.880 --> 0:05:13.400 I couldn't get him. I kept forgetting which was which, 0:05:14.600 --> 0:05:17.039 and I would say the other one so much that 0:05:17.120 --> 0:05:18.920 they finally just took the show to shut me up. 0:05:19.040 --> 0:05:20.560 We used to go there every summer doing the show. 0:05:20.680 --> 0:05:24.480 Morgantown. We go to that the guy who would paint cars. 0:05:24.200 --> 0:05:26.799 Yes, you remember that he made us a big KSR 0:05:27.000 --> 0:05:27.279 thing that. 0:05:27.360 --> 0:05:27.800 He made us. 0:05:28.000 --> 0:05:31.320 I still have that that little KSR medal. Yes, I 0:05:31.320 --> 0:05:32.360 wonder if he's still going. 0:05:32.440 --> 0:05:33.520 I don't know, all right. 0:05:33.520 --> 0:05:35.760 So Morgantown in Butler County go ahead. 0:05:35.600 --> 0:05:38.880 Yes, part of west central Kentucky, formed in eighteen ten 0:05:38.960 --> 0:05:42.760 from portions of Logan and Ohio Counties, named after Major 0:05:42.839 --> 0:05:46.239 General Richard Butler, who is also the namesake of Butler County, 0:05:46.279 --> 0:05:49.719 Ohio and Butler County, Pennsylvania. No way, Yeah, he served 0:05:49.760 --> 0:05:52.799 in the Revolutionary War. How did he get three states 0:05:52.800 --> 0:05:53.720 to do a county for you? 0:05:53.920 --> 0:05:54.080 Now? 0:05:54.120 --> 0:05:56.679 Shure, Butler County, Pennsylvania is where Trump got shot. 0:05:57.279 --> 0:06:00.760 It is. That's why that sounds familiar. He was a 0:06:00.760 --> 0:06:01.440 major general. 0:06:01.560 --> 0:06:07.039 So the same Butler that's in That's where the Butler 0:06:07.080 --> 0:06:08.120 County where Trump got shot. 0:06:08.160 --> 0:06:08.520 Correct? 0:06:08.640 --> 0:06:09.520 What a small world. 0:06:10.080 --> 0:06:12.839 The population of about thirteen thousand people. The county seat 0:06:12.880 --> 0:06:15.960 is Morgantown. Butler County's history and early growth can be 0:06:16.000 --> 0:06:18.239 traced back to the boating traffic that used to flow 0:06:18.279 --> 0:06:20.880 on the Green River. In eighteen thirty three, the common 0:06:23.320 --> 0:06:25.599 In eighteen thirty three, the Commonwealth of Kentucky introduced a 0:06:25.680 --> 0:06:28.760 navigation system for the green and barren rivers, including locks 0:06:28.839 --> 0:06:32.400 and dams that allowed more commercial traffic to reach the county. 0:06:32.520 --> 0:06:33.480 Did they still do those? 0:06:34.560 --> 0:06:34.600 So? 0:06:35.560 --> 0:06:35.960 Remind me? 0:06:36.000 --> 0:06:39.719 I know what a damn is. A lock is what it's. 0:06:39.520 --> 0:06:41.920 Like when you raise and lower the water level. 0:06:41.960 --> 0:06:45.320 So that that is what it is. Right, they've raised 0:06:45.360 --> 0:06:48.080 the later and lower. Have you ever watched that happen. 0:06:48.200 --> 0:06:51.160 I've seen a Panama Canal thing where they do. 0:06:51.200 --> 0:06:52.840 I think that would be fascinating to watch it in 0:06:52.880 --> 0:06:53.360 real time. 0:06:54.000 --> 0:06:56.359 They have one of the Kentucky River Kentucky Lake I 0:06:56.360 --> 0:06:57.159 think down there. 0:06:58.360 --> 0:07:00.960 So they do it for like boats they raise and 0:07:01.080 --> 0:07:02.080 how long does it take? 0:07:02.560 --> 0:07:04.599 I'm not sure on the length. But over the next 0:07:04.600 --> 0:07:07.560 twenty years, Butler County's population doubled because of that, and 0:07:07.720 --> 0:07:11.480 two more towns were incorporated on like the locks, Rochester 0:07:11.640 --> 0:07:12.360 and Woodbury. 0:07:13.200 --> 0:07:14.200 I've never heard of those. 0:07:14.800 --> 0:07:17.120 Growth slow during the Civil War, where Butler County witnessed 0:07:17.120 --> 0:07:19.720 a few minor incidents, but after the war, in nineteen 0:07:19.760 --> 0:07:23.040 oh seven, former soldiers from both sides came together to 0:07:23.040 --> 0:07:26.200 create the Confederate Union Veterans Monument in front of the 0:07:26.200 --> 0:07:29.000 Butler County Courthouse in Morgantown. It's one of the only 0:07:29.040 --> 0:07:31.560 two monuments in Kentucky that revered both sides of the 0:07:31.600 --> 0:07:32.840 war instead of just one. 0:07:33.560 --> 0:07:37.000 Oh really, wait a minute, So they both are in 0:07:37.120 --> 0:07:37.920 the same. 0:07:38.760 --> 0:07:41.240 The monuments on both both of them. 0:07:41.400 --> 0:07:44.080 That's interesting because that was the part of the state 0:07:44.160 --> 0:07:47.160 that was like that was where they were battling, right, 0:07:47.200 --> 0:07:49.920 Like that was Am I correct about that? Like that 0:07:50.000 --> 0:07:54.080 part of Kentucky there were active fights. 0:07:53.760 --> 0:07:57.760 Correct, less in Butler County than maybe of the surrounding counties. 0:07:57.840 --> 0:07:59.520 But do you know that because that was in the 0:07:59.560 --> 0:08:02.160 research that they had a few minor incidents. It wasn't 0:08:02.160 --> 0:08:05.520 as much as some other places, gotcha. The Finny Hotel 0:08:05.560 --> 0:08:09.000 in Woodbury dates back to eighteen sixty seven. The hotel 0:08:09.040 --> 0:08:11.760 played an important role in the economic development of Woodbury 0:08:11.800 --> 0:08:15.280 as a river town, catering to riverboat travelers on the Green. 0:08:15.280 --> 0:08:16.280 Still there, it. 0:08:16.240 --> 0:08:17.520 Is, but it's abandoned now. 0:08:17.840 --> 0:08:20.360 By nineteen fifty the hotel no longer served travelers and 0:08:20.360 --> 0:08:24.040 had become a private residence. It is historic, but now abandoned. 0:08:24.240 --> 0:08:26.800 That is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. 0:08:27.680 --> 0:08:31.240 Like no one's there, correct, Yeah, people think it's haunted 0:08:31.240 --> 0:08:31.680 as well. 0:08:31.720 --> 0:08:34.640 Would bead if you had a hotel that's two hundred 0:08:34.679 --> 0:08:37.400 years old. That just sits abandoned. Can you imagine what 0:08:37.480 --> 0:08:39.079 that's like inside?

And she said, 0:09:08.559 --> 0:09:14.000 smiling wave. I was like, well, okay, I forgot about 0:09:14.000 --> 0:09:17.959 Miss cap That was early KSR remote maybe one of 0:09:18.000 --> 0:09:21.360 the very first ones.

So many 0:13:41.320 --> 0:13:42.840 people thought he was this great guy. 0:13:43.600 --> 0:13:46.199 So he was just like a local businessman who was 0:13:46.240 --> 0:13:48.600 a pirate. On the night would put on an eye 0:13:48.600 --> 0:13:50.080 patch and be a pirate. 0:13:50.320 --> 0:13:52.640 I don't know about the eye patch, but at night 0:13:52.640 --> 0:13:54.439 they would go out and rob these boats. 0:13:54.559 --> 0:13:55.360 Huh okay. 0:13:56.000 --> 0:13:58.800 Also in Caldwell County.

The black Patch 0:14:33.680 --> 0:14:35.560 Wars they went on for would you say, two years? 0:14:35.600 --> 0:14:36.200 Two years? 0:14:36.240 --> 0:14:36.800 Two years? 0:14:36.880 --> 0:14:39.760 Yeah, that's a fascinating part of history.

Fighting lasted for two 0:15:12.760 --> 0:15:14.960 years before the Kentucky National Guard had to step in. 0:15:15.800 --> 0:15:18.400 You hang tight, Okay, We're going to take a break 0:15:18.440 --> 0:15:20.200 before we get the rest of yours.
