Bourbon’s history is
mostly unwritten
The public archives hold just one old photo of Bourbon. The rest are in attics, shoeboxes and the historical society. Help start the collection.
The story
from WikipediaRead it all ↗The town of Bourbon was laid out in 1853 when it was certain the railroad would be extended to that point. It took its name from Bourbon Township, which was named after Bourbon County, Kentucky, the former home of many of the early settlers.
The Bourbon Community Building-Gymnasium was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2015.
