My Harrison County

Here at "My Harrison County" what was once old is truly new again. My name is Philip and this is my companion blog for www.HarrisonCountyKy.US, a website focusing on the local history and genealogy of Harrison County, Kentucky. I developed the site to share what I have learned about researching the people and places of the county. Content posted to this blog will supplement the site's offerings and keep everyone up-to-date. So, please, just click, read, learn, and enjoy!
