1 post | 1 read
Bourbon kings. Bootleggers. Vagrants. Hobos. Mobsters. Voodoo women. Confederate guerillas. When your town attracts the kind of folks who sauntered into Lawrenceburg, Kentucky, odds are good some of them never left. Lawrenceburg was once the heart of bourbon country and home to some of the wealthiest distillers in the world. This small town smack dab in the middle of the bluegrass state welcomed visitors from all over to sample its wares. The town also attracted its shares of con men, flip flam artists, and scoundrels, many of whom did time in the slammer behind the court house or took rooms in the Anderson Hotel. Some of these residents and visitors never truly left. They haunt the building along Main Street to this very day. No one knows the ghostly community of Lawrenceburg like Jeff Waldridge. An expert on the paranormal, Waldridge welcomes hundreds of visitors each year who want to experience the strange and unusual. In his first publication, Waldridge takes you down Main Street and memory lane, unveiling the colorful history behind the mysterious hauntings of a bourbon town. From the mischief of Ol' Albert, to the towering presence of T.B. Ripy, to the terrors of the Anderson Hotel, the ghosts of Lawrenceburg await you!

This book was recommended to me while visiting a bookstore in a nearby small Kentucky town. It piqued my interest in the history of the town and the accompanying photographs. It wasn‘t a book I chose for its writing, but rather for the stories. It recounts its origins, rise to prominence in the bourbon industry, notable downtown businesses and mansions, and some wild stories.
