DID YOU KNOW? …In 1775, the h**p crop made its first appearance on Clarks Run Creek, located near Danville, KY. Because this crop was not native to Kentucky at the time, it had to be imported from New England and other European countries. The fiber from the h**p crop was originally used for homespun items such as twine, rope, thread and textiles. Hemp's popularity began to grow dramatically between 1790 and 1800 when settlements began to evolve into more organized enterprises.
During the early 1800s, Kentucky was considered a leader in the production and exportation of h**p and began to manufacture products from it. With a great amount of seed, came large amounts of fiber which was then spun into rope at locations known as “ROPEWALKS”. These areas were outdoor spaces where h**p fibers were spun in order to make this sturdy rope. By 1809, Kentucky was producing bailing materials for the entire South. Mills on Lower Howards Creek, located near Hall's on the River, were associated with the h**p rope production and shipped their products out of Holder’s Station to downriver.
The growth of h**p in the U.S. during the 19th Century dwindled with the availability of cheaper imported fibers from Manila and the East India Company. During War II, however, the Japanese took possession of the Philippines and the East India Company, and since jute supply from India was also restricted, the Americans had to produce h**p once again, for industrial purposes as well as to sustain the vast demand from the US Army and Navy. Rope made from h**p was used in rigging, towing and mooring the ships, paratroopers needed webbing for their parachutes and the h**p fiber was even used to make shoes for the soldiers. **p **phistory

DID YOU KNOW? ...Built by some of the earliest settlers in the region and scattered across the Bluegrass, lie long lines of historic Rock Fences. The earliest pioneers, who held great interest in agriculture, would often discover limestone rock while plowing their fields. This limestone found during this cultivation would constitute much of the rock used for the fence construction. The fences were originally built by Scot-Irish immigrants who brought with them a great understanding of “dry stone” masonry - meaning the construction of stones with the exclusion of mortar in the process. In more specific terms, there is a slight difference in rock fences compared to stone fences. Rock fences are primarily constructed with rocks that have been gathered from fields and creek bottoms, while stone fences are constructed with rock materials that have been shaped, quarried, or dressed by human hands. The majority of the historic fences in Kentucky are Rock Fences rather than stone. It wasn’t until the 1800s that quarried rock fences took off as the most common fencing type used by early farmers for their livestock and additional agricultural needs. In addition, some of these rock fences even border the turnpikes of The Commonwealth. These historic Rock Fences can be seen throughout the region, be sure to keep an eye out for one on your way down to Hall’s.
