Perhaps the most recognized military events in Harrison County history were the raids by John Hunt Morgan and his Raiders on Cynthiana during the American Civil War. However, renowned Kentucky historian Kent Masterson Brown, claims that it was another battle that has also piqued his interest.
“I regard this as one of the most critical sites of Kentucky’s Revolutionary War experience,” Brown said of Ruddles Fort, which is on the banks of the South Fork of the Licking River near Lair, on property now owned by Dunny and B.T. Darnell.

The Harrison County Thorobreds soccer team made its first trip to the sub-state a memorable one by battling Boone County tooth and nail before dropping a 1-0 verdict Tuesday night in Florence.  
Showing remarkable school spirit, two pep buses, much of the football and basketball teams and hundreds of other supporters made the trek to northern Kentucky to support the history-making team.  
The game was scoreless for the first half though it seemed to be played for the longest time on the Harrison County end.  

“We have peaked at the right time,” a jubilant Coach Nick Hill stated. “I could not be more proud of this group of young men.”
This statement came on the heels of arguably two of the biggest wins ever for the Harrison County Thorobreds soccer program.  
The first step in winning the regional title came on Thursday when the 13th-rated Bishop Brossart Mustangs came onto the Hilltop fully expecting to end the Breds’ season.  

Oh how I enjoy a good scary movie.
I am not referring to the types of movies where the only basis of horror is shown by a beautiful young woman, half clothed, running from a house screaming after she finds her boyfriend dead.
I am talking about some of the great horror and scary movies that leave you afraid to go home alone in the dark.
For the sake of time, I would like to rank only a few of the greats that have left me afraid of being alone in the dark over my short lifetime.
