The Long Run Massacre & Floyd’s Defeat

Step back in time to 1781 when Painted Stone Station was a thriving station on the Kentucky Frontier. Squire Boone, Jr., younger brother of famed frontiersman Daniel Boone, established this fort in Shelby County in 1779/1780. After constant Native American harassment, the settlers evacuated in September 1781 to Lynn’s Station in Louisville. They were attacked on their way in the area that is known as Eastwood, KY today. Learn about life on the frontier through an event that actually took place in Shelby County, KY during the years of the Revolutionary War. Demos, live canon firing, and main reenactment at 2 pm followed by a prisoner exchange and Native American storytelling. The SAR (Sons of the American Revolution) will provide a special American flag ceremony prior to the battle re-enactment. Please bring your own chairs or blankets to sit on.
