Stamping Ground, Kentucky
( 176 Stonetown Rd., Stamping Ground)
In the late 1700s, slaves were brought to this area with their white owners as part of the “traveling church” from Va. In 1877, many former slaves moved west to newly-formed Nicodemus, Kan. Those that remained in this area purchased land in Stonetown. The community had a school and two churches.
