The Women of Bryan’s Station

P4115887a

Learn more about the Women of Bryan Station , where in 1782, the women of the station went outside the station walls to obtain water from the spring. The water was necessary because the settlers were already aware of the pending Indian attack. For Women’s History Month we have compiled lists of names of the women at the station and their families.

A monument was built by The Daughters of the American Revolution in 1896. It was listed then as “the only monument to women, by women.”

    The Women of Ancient Sparta Pointed out the Heroic Way. The Women of Pioneer Kentucky Trod It.”

Maggie Delaney returns to the Fort Boonesborough Fireside Chats

In 2009 Carol Jarboe brought “Maggie Delaney - Indentured Servant” to life at The Fireside Chat in February of that year. Since that time Jarboe has appeared dozens of times throughout the country telling the story that she wrote and researched of indentured servitude in the early years of our country. So not only was it a “homecoming” of sorts for Maggie Delaney but it was an exceptional performance on February 23, 2013. It showed just how much Maggie has grown and just how much Jarboe has polished this performance.

Private William Greathouse visits the Fort Boonesborough Fireside Chats

In honor of the 200th aniversary of the War of 1812, The Fort Boonesborough Foundation stepped outside the Early Frontier Era for speakers for the 2013 Fire Side Chats held each February. Saturday night brought Harry Smith of Cynthiana, Kentucky in his Chatauqua performance as Prvt William Greathouse. Greathouse signed up with over 7,000 other Kentuckians to fight in what has become known as the United States “second” War for Independence. Although not fought on Kentucky soil, Kentucky sent more men to this war than most other states. Only New York and Ohio sent more. Smith, like the character he portrays, is 17, and did an outstanding job telling his story.
