Elk Lake Shores, near Owenton
Balls Landing, Kentucky, 1908
The location known today as Perry Park was originally known as
"Lick Skillet,"
(supposedly as a result of food being in such short supply that they had to
...).
Afterwards, it was know as "Cleveland," probably after the US
president of that
name. It became Ball's Landing around 1887, and was changed to Perry Park in 1933.
The boat in the picture is the Falls City - more on it
here.
