Public meetings held for historic farms

Preservation Kentucky and the Kentucky Archaeological Survey wants to meet with residents of Crittenden and Livingston counties next week. The groups are beginning a process to identify and catalog historic farm sites in the two counties, including old buildings, barns, fences, silos, landmarks and other structures.

There will be public meetings Monday in Marion and Tuesday in Smithland. Public input is being sought before the survey begins. The project is being funded through a grant. There will be a meeting at 7 p.m., Monday at the Crittenden County Public Library and at 7 p.m., Tuesday at the Livingston County Courthouse.
