Georgetown and Scott County (Images of America)

Georgetown and Scott County discloses the historic personality of one of mid-America's most rapidly growing communities. Scott County, for many years, was one of Kentucky's leading agricultural counties. In 1985, it leapt to the forefront among industrial
communities as Toyota established a major American manufacturing operation in Georgetown, the county seat. With over 200 unique photographs, many of which are previously unpublished, this volume provides a lively glimpse into this Bluegrass county's ever-changing rural and urban communities. You will find within these pages many of the older features of the county that no longer exist, including those in areas like the small city of Stamping Ground. Take a closer look into the everyday lives of early Scott Countians at work and at play through decades of social, political, and
industrial changes.

Authors and historians Ann Bolton Bevins, Frederick A. Johnston, and Lindsey Apple, the editorial team that produced Georgetown and Scott County, Kentucky: A History in 1993, have collaborated once again to create this photographic sequel. With a variety of images from local museums, family albums, and several outstanding private collections, this volume further explores the history of the people and places that have made Scott County what it is today. The lively visual history that unfolds in Georgetown and Scott County is sure to delight young and old, resident and visitor alike, for years to come.
