From the Foreword...
The historic sites survey of Boone County is part of a federal-state effort to identify all sites that are worthy of preservation in Kentucky. Federal matching funds provided to the Kentucky Heritage Commission by the Department of the Interior are used in this statewide survey, which will extend over a ten-year period. In order to ensure coverage of all regions of the state, the Heritage Commission staff is conducting the survey on a county-county basis.
The historical survey is a comprehensive investigation of the buildings, structures, sites and objects that materially embody our cultural heritage. Many sites recorded during the survey will be listed in the Survey of Historic Sites in Kentucky and the more important sites will be nominated to the National Register of Historic Places.
