Northern Kentucky serves as the gateway between the North and the South.
Explore its many places long-forgotten with Lost Northern Kentucky.
Many of Kentucky's historic businesses, religious structures, homes and
buildings were lost to time. Just after the Civil War, Daniel Henry
Holmes purchased a large Victorian-Gothic house he named Holmesdale,
better known as Holmes Castle. By the 1890s, the Latonia Racetrack
had two hundred stables to accommodate horses and space for one hundred
bookmakers. The Motordrome at the Ludlow Lagoon Amusement Park had
seating for eight thousand people.
Authors Robert Schrage and David Schroeder detail the fascinating
history of Northern Kentucky's lost treasures.
