SUMMARY:George Rogers Clark: Service\, Hardship\, and Legacy in the Early American West
DESCRIPTION:Leading a Virginia State military force during the Revolutionary War\, George Rogers Clark (1752 – 1818) secured a region West of the Appalachian Mountains from British control for the United States. Despite this early success\, Clark’s later life was marred by financial difficulties\, slanderous rumors\, and an international scandal. This presentation will unpack the complicated and often nearly unbelievable details of this uniquely American story from the early days of the founding of the United States. \nThis is the second program in the With Liberty & Justice For All speaker series created by the Shelby County Historical Society and the Countdown to USA 250! Committee. This program will be presented by Brian Cushing. Brian served as a volunteer at Historic Locust Grove\, the last home of George Rogers Clark\, from 1999\, and later as Program Director. There\, he had the opportunity over a period of years to take a deep dive into documentation related to George Rogers Clark and his complex\, sometimes almost unbelievable\, life. Cushing served as Executive Director of the Shelby County Historical Society from 2021-2023\, at which time he became Historic District Coordinator for the City of Shelbyville. He lives in Pleasureville\, KY with his wife Amy\, and they are the hosts of The Victorian Barroom on YouTube. \nThe SAR (Sons of the American Revolution\, Gov. Isaac Shelby Chapter)\, DAR (Daughters of the American Revolution\, Isaac Shelby Chapter)\, the Painted Stone Settlers\, Inc. and the Shelby County Public Library are partnering with the Shelby County Historical Society to present this program\, held at the Carnegie Library Center. These 250th programs were made possible by a generous anonymous donor. \nPrograms are free and open to the public. \nCelebrating 250 years of history in Shelby County\, Kentucky!

SUMMARY:Remembering the Simpsonville Massacre
DESCRIPTION:161 years later\, an incident which occurred on January 25\, 1865 in Shelby County\, KY\, is still remembered by many. Nearing the end of the Civil War\, Company E of the 5th US Colored Cavalry (USCC) was ambushed by Confederate guerrillas in Simpsonville\, KY. The company was based at Camp Nelson in Jessamine County\, KY and had been assigned to drive 900 head of cattle from Camp Nelson to Louisville over the countryside\, as part of the Union supply chain to supply the city with beef. Unexpectedly\, the soldiers at the rear of the herd were attacked by Confederate guerrillas. When the chaos ended\, 22 men were found dead and more were wounded. Their bodies lie scattered along the road (US Hwy 60) and in surrounding fields. At the time\, local newspaper coverage of the incident was minimal. Learn what we now know about these 22 US Army Veterans and this incident\, decades later. \nPlease join the Shelby County Historical Society (SCHS) on Tuesday\, February 24th at 6:30 pm for Remembering the Simpsonville Massacre. This free program\, part of the History Matters Speakers Series\, honors Black History Month and will take place at the Simpsonville Methodist Church (105 1st St. Simpsonville\, KY). Built 10 years after the massacre\, the church sits close to the massacre site. This program will give an overview of the project and its future. A panel discussion will be held with special guests: Jerry Miller\, SCHS member\, former state legislator and local historian; Juanita White\, SCHS member\, historian and scriptwriter; and Steve Phan\, Chief of Interpretation at Camp Nelson National Monument. Each speaker will give a brief talk about their involvement in this ongoing project to discover the exact location of the soldiers’ grave\, with time for questions at the end. Each soldier’s name will be read aloud at the beginning of the program\, in honor of their service to our country. \nCelebrate 250 Years of Shelby County\, Kentucky history with us!!

DESCRIPTION:161 years later\, an incident which occurred on January 25\, 1865 in Shelby County\, KY\, is still remembered by many. Nearing the end of the Civil War\, Company E of the 5th US Colored Cavalry (USCC) was ambushed by Confederate guerrillas in Simpsonville\, KY. The company was based at Camp Nelson in Jessamine County\, KY and had been assigned to drive 900 head of cattle from Camp Nelson to Louisville over the countryside\, as part of the Union supply chain to supply the city with beef. Unexpectedly\, the soldiers at the rear of the herd were attacked by Confederate guerrillas. When the chaos ended\, 22 men were found dead and more were wounded. Their bodies lie scattered along the road (US Hwy 60) and in surrounding fields. At the time\, local newspaper coverage of the incident was minimal. Learn what we now know about these 22 US Army Veterans and this incident\, decades later. \nPlease join the Shelby County Historical Society (SCHS) on Tuesday\, January 27 at 6:30 pm for Remembering the Simpsonville Massacre. This program will take place at the Simpsonville Methodist Church (105 1st St. Simpsonville\, KY). Built 10 years after the massacre\, the church sits close to the massacre site. This program will give an overview of the project and its future. A panel discussion will be held with special guests: Jerry Miller\, SCHS member\, former state legislator and local historian; Juanita White\, SCHS member\, historian and scriptwriter; and Steve Phan\, Chief of Interpretation at Camp Nelson National Monument. Each speaker will give a brief talk about their involvement in this ongoing project to discover the exact location of the soldiers’ grave\, with time for questions at the end. Each soldier’s name will be read aloud at the beginning of the program\, in honor of their service to our country. \nCelebrate 250 Years of Shelby County\, Kentucky history with us!!
