Fountain Bleu

Fountain Bleu:

Some board members of the James Harrod Trust were invited by owner Pat Davis to come to the historic Fountain Bleu farm a few days ago. This was a brainstorming session to determine what course of actions needs to be taken with the emergency stabilizing of this incredible property. We were very pleased to see first hand this Federal 1816 - 1817 Mercer County landmark. This was one of the first five land grants that were written for the state of Kentucky in the last quarter of the 18th century.
