Barb -- I enjoyed your introduction very much, and I'm sure everyone else did too. Concerning Mundy's Landing, it is located in Mercer County where Shawnee Run Road crossed the Kentucky River into Woodford County (about 1-1/2 miles downstream from the mouth of Shawnee Run Creek). In former times, this road was the only road between Harrodsburg and Lexington, and the landing itself was quite important since the Kentucky River in those days was a heavily-traveled commercial route. The Landing was made a tobacco inspection port in 1793 and shortly became a prominent commercial and agricultural center. According to George M. Chinn's "The History of Harrodsburg and 'The Great Settlement Area' of Kentucky 1774-1900 (1985), Thomas Mundy built a two-story log house here before 1800, eventually with slave quarters and warehouses, on a hill overlooking the landing that still bears his name. (pp. 75, 266) The landing was a popular stopping point for the many steamboats that heavily plied the River until about the time of the Civil War, due to the scenic beauty of the area and difficulties with navigating the River upstream from the mouth of Shawnee Run.
