Johnston's Inn

 Robert Johnston, Revolutionary War captain, was born in Virginia in 1749. He and his wife operated a tavern in their house here from 1796-1812. Located on what was the main road between Maysville and Lexington, this inn served stage and horse-back passengers in its 30-foot tavern room with sleeping accommodations overhead. This house appears on first Ky. map of 1784. Return to Bourbon County marker listing
