Just east of here is the last home site and grave of Mathias Harman, Sr. (1736-1832), early explorer, hunter and Revolutionary War veteran. Harman helped establish the first permanent English settlement in eastern Kentucky in 1755. In 1789 he founded Harman's Station on the Levisa River near John's Creek in present-day Johnson County. He and his wife, Lydia, settled in this area in 1803.

I Saw The Marker

Visiting my 6x great grandparents, Mathias and Lydia Skaggs Harman's old homeplace. I wasn't able to visit the cemetery because it's now gated off.
