Remembering the Simpsonville Massacre

Due to the winter weather forecast, this program has been cancelled and will be rescheduled at a later date.


Make plans to attend the Shelby County Historical Society's first big program of the year in the History Matters Speakers Series - Remembering the Simpsonville Massacre will take place on Tuesday, January 27th at 6:30 pm at the Simpsonville Methodist Church in Simpsonville, KY.

Learn about the decades long search for 22 missing US Union Army Soldiers - what happened to their bodies after they were massacred on January 25, 1865? Their bodies have never been located to give them a proper reinterment or recognition as US Veterans.

A panel discussion will be held with special guests: Jerry Miller, SCHS member, former state legislator and local historian; Juanita White, SCHS member, historian and scriptwriter; and Steve Phan, Chief of Interpretation at Camp Nelson National Monument. Each soldier’s name will be read aloud at the beginning of the program in honor of their service to our country.
