To every Kentucky volunteer in a genealogy society, historical society, lineage society, archive, library, historical site, or cemetery — thank you.

You are the quiet hands keeping our past alive.

We see you, and we thank you.

Padgett Farm, home to five generations of my Padgett ancestors, thrived at the confluence of Otter Creek and Dry Branch in Meade County, #Kentucky. In 1937, the Federal Government acquired the land to expand Fort Knox—a pivotal moment that redefined my family’s legacy. 🌾 #Genealogy #KentuckyHistory
