Description: Lawrenceburg, Kentucky, Images of America, Paperback During the 1900s, Lawrenceburg offered a textbook example ofthe things that make the small towns of the Bluegrass Regionculturally and historically unique. The gently rolling topography isengraved with abandoned channels, caves, sinks, and springs and isdeeply marked by the Kentucky River cutting through Ordovicianlimestone. The ability to use resources provided by the landdetermined the lifestyles of area residents prior to and during the20th century. Agriculture, especially tobacco and dairy; bourbon,both before and after Prohibition; horses, especially saddlebreds; andsmall manufactories gave the economy diversity and stability. Localbusinessmen accepted leadership roles in the city and supportedprojects that improved recreation, safety, essential services, and theeconomy. Social groups promoted community projects, and churchesmet spiritual needs. Day-to-day life incorporated the interactions of thetownspeople as they worked together.
