Description Location: Maysville, Mason County, Kentucky. In the late 1700s settlers, pioneers, scouts, and even foreign nobility floated down the Ohio River in rafts, canoes and flatboats to the landing at Limestone, later called Maysville. Forty-eight buildings of note are included on the walking tour of the downtown historic district, listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The iron railings and ornamentation of the old buildings are reflections of the days when merchants and riverboat captains traveled the waterway to New Orleans, exerting the influence of New Orleans-French style on this busy center of shipping and trade.
