The 150th Anniversary of the Civil War Battle of
Perrysville will be commemorated with a packed schedule of presentations at the
Mooretown Monument. The commemoration is set for Sunday, October 7. The
Mooretown Monument is located on Jefferson County Hwy 53 at Georges Lake. Called the Fall Festival, activities are
scheduled to begin at 12 noon. The programs are scheduled to run from 1 to 4
PM. There will be food, crafts and lots of
fun.
The Battle of Perrysville was fought in Perrysville,
Kentucky, on October 8, 1862. Many Union
soldiers from the area were present at that battle. The Mooretown Monument was built to
commemorate the Jefferson County citizens that were in the Civil War. Some of those names inscribed on that
monument have Wellsville descendants living here today.
The commemoration is open to the public and free of
admission. Comfortable walking shoes are
suggested. For more information call
740-768-2365.
