Trimble County

Staff Report
Earlier this year, members of the Oldham County Historical Society learned the organization would receive two designations on the National Parks Service Underground Railroad Network to Freedom program. The first site to be accepted was the Henry Bibb Escapes/Gatewood Plantation Site located in Bedford here in Trimble County. The
second designation chosen for inclusion in the program was the archived holdings of the J.C. Barnett Library & Archives in La Grange. Both sites are vital links to the history of the Underground Railroad in this area.
