American Civil War

Next to the side of U.S. Route 60 in Farmers, is a historical plaque commemorating the passing through of Confederate General John Hunt Morgan's group "Morgan's Raiders." Engraved it reads, "On last tragic raid, the fourth into Kentucky, Morgan's Raiders took Mt. Sterling, then lost it, took Lexington and June 11, 1864 took Cynthiana. Next day USA men under Brig. General S. G. Burbridge dispersed raiders. Morgan then retreated through Flemingsburg and camped here June 12. He and his men returned to Virginia, but never recovered from this reverse."[4]
