Shelby County Historical Society
The Shelby County Historical Society was organized in 1963 to stimulate the interest of the citizens of Shelby County in the heritage and the county’s role in Kentucky and American history. The Society identifies historic sites and landmark homes. Reflective of these ongoing efforts was the dedication in 2003 of a marker adjacent to the Stanley-Casey House on Washington Street, the boyhood home of former Kentucky Governor Augustus O. Stanley. The Society published in 1979 Cemeteries of Shelby County Kentucky to rediscover neglected burial sites throughout the county. In 2003 the Society published The New History of Shelby County, which was nominated by the Southern Kentucky Book Fair for the best non-fiction book published in Kentucky.
