DID YOU KNOW? ... back in the late eighteenth century (just down from Hall's on the River), operated the Hieronymus Warehouse and Ferry. Located on the land of Henry Hieronymus, this warehouse was established in 1808 by the Kentucky General Assembly for the purpose of inspecting goods (mainly flour, to***co, h**p and bourbon) destined for shipment by flatboat downriver to markets in New Orleans. Kentucky Bourbon and Bourbon Street have had quite a unique relationship going back to the 1700's.

DID YOU KNOW? … just down the river from Hall's, near the mouth of Boone Creek, sits the site of an old shot factory where ammunition was formed for muskets, shotguns and cannons. At a particular precipice on these towering cliffs, the process of “drop shot” took place. Shot was formed by allowing molten lead to seep through a sieve and fall from a very high point (usually a man-made tower) - but in this rare case, it was from a cliff on the palisades of the Kentucky River. These liquid drops of lead would land into vats of cold water drawn from the adjoining creek. Once cooled, the shot held the shape of small spheres, which varied in size and sold as lead shot to hunters and others. References from the shot factory date from 1806 to 1853.
