WESTERN KY – A new event coming to Cadiz, Ky will allow the community an opportunity to see a glimpse at life during the Revolutionary War.
History educator and author Geoff Baggett will display period pieces, including daily necessities and military items from the Revolutionary War period. This hands-on history presentation will begin at 7:00 p.m. on Saturday, July 20.
