- **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 11 Apr, 2026 at 01:00 pm (-04:00)
- **Event Description**: The Kentucky River during the 19th century was a vital transportation route within Kentucky. The Kentucky River with its North, Middle and South Forks drain some 7,000 square miles of central and eastern Kentucky. It is 260 miles long, and the North Fork adds 168 miles, the Middle Fork 105 miles, and the South Fork 45 miles. During its commercial life, the river saw timber, coal, oil, lead, fluorspar, salt, and agricultural products move over its waters to market. The Kentucky River was to have been part of a canal that reached from Louisville, Kentucky, to Charleston, South Carolina. It was the terminus for the first railroad in Kentucky and allowed Frankfort to house state government. The last commercial barge operation on the Kentucky River saw sand being barged from Milton, Kentucky, on the Ohio River to Frankfort.
