Panoramic View of Falmouth 
(the image says this is Falmouth "65 years ago."  The L&N Employees 
magazine I got it from is dated 1927, so that indicates, if it's true, the
 picture is pre-civil war. Reported to have been burned during the war.

Licking River Scenes

"On last Thursday, a party of ladies and gentlemen gathered at the river, their object being to hunt pearls.  The came out early and brought well filled baskets, of course.  We all did ample justice to the good things spread before us.  After dinner the evening was most enjoyably spent in the pearl business.  Some of those engaged were so lucky as to find some very nice specimens." from the Falmouth Outlook, September 11, 1908.

Remember when the Licking River flowed north to Hamilton, Ohio, and the Kentucky River turned northeast at Carrollton and headed for Cincinnati?  No? That’s because you were born after the last glacier left the area.  Read all about it, here.
