I lived in a town called flemingsburg not too far from this but my parents would take to Maysville every weekend to do shopping. I'm currently 23 and moved to tulsa oklahoma after growing up in flemingsburg my whole life. It makes me so happy to be able to come online and see clips of my home. Christmas time was the most beautiful time of the year for maysville, thank you so much for filming this!
Thank-you for sharing your walk through Maysville and across the Ohio River. It's apparent the residents have a lot of pride in their town. Your narration & enthusiasm really conveyed the wonder of this place. The only negative was the sub-par coffee. 🥲 Look forward to your next walk.
Cincinnati is 61 miles down river, and the nearby William H. Harsha bridge is not a suspension type -it is a cable-stay bridge. Btw, the official KY/OH border on the bridge is after the (north) tower but before the cable anchorage.✌️
God Bless You Brother. I grew up there i the 80s St Pats...and need to get back. The people there are top notch..I may go back and live a summer in an RV there. The 3 things in the river are Ice breakers.
A great video tour of a town I have wanted to visit. My ancestors settled in Kentucky after immigrating from England in the early nineteenth century before settling in Portsmouth Ohio. I am also an avid student of early Kentucky and Ohio during the life of Simon Kenton who founded Maysville. I would love to see what it looked like when Kenton first arrived at Limestone Creek. I would like to visit Maysville and explore. I’ll be sure to bring a thermos of coffee, lol.
The 3 concrete things sticking out of the river that you thought were footings from another bridge are actually ice breakers, designed to break up ice as it moved downriver. At 37:30 point, you are right, there use to be a downtown grocery store there. I actually work there all thru high school. It was later converted to a local bar but burned in the mid 1980"s and was eventually torn down. I grew up in the downtown area of Maysville, couldn't imagine living anywhere else. Thank for showing our town off.
That is absolutely amazing information. Thank you for sharing it. And I really enjoyed exploring your town and community. Clearly there is a lot of pride and love in Maysville
Fantastic walk!! Love the history and architecture. Agree with Greg K regarding the narrative walks and tidbits of history. Rosemary Clooney always talked about her hometown and I've wanted to mosey up there and visit sometime.
Great video walk..I grew up in Maysville and it was great growing up there. You missed a couple of great places. One you missed the the Opera House. This was an old theater that was on the vaudeville circuit. Many great performers came there..over the years , it was converted into another movie theater , but later closed and then in the 1960s was bought by a local group who became know as the Maysville Players. They were successful in getting it designated as a historical landmark and secured a grant to do renovations needed. They have produced many plays over the years and many entertainers have come to perform there. It is a great live performance theater. You did a fantastic job on the walk…I remember walking that bridge many many times!
A Tennant farmer, not a migrant worker. Just another person who grew up in Maysville. Thank you for your kind words about that from which I came. I now live in historic Covington.
You was right in front of a great coffee shop. Parc Cafe . Also delites have great coffee. If you visit again just yell . I'll bring you a cup downtown.
Next time, please visit the Mason County Museum in Maysville and let them tell you some history. Jacob Boone is buried behind the museum. He and his cousin Daniel opened a tavern on the corner of Market and Second Street. There is also Simon Kenton history and Stanley Reed history. Thanks for visiting Maysville.😂
Those big concrete blocks that are used on the bridge. A guy fell in one when it was drying. They say the never got him out. My family is from there. All my aunts and uncles where born in hayswood hospital in Maysville.
I currently live in maysville, and you just missed over a local coffee shop called the Parc Cafe. It was just across the street from the ledger independent building. Either way loved the video man.
Very nice walk through of this quaint Kentucky town. I noticed the trolley tracks there in the beginning. I am looking at property and a move to Kentucky; Maysville has some nice homes. I am just curious about what life is like there and would appreciate any comments about the town from those who are familiar with living there. Thumbs up to this video and subscribed! Nice job!
Thank you, after seeing this I'm considering moving to Maysville! I certainly want to visit and stay a night or two. What a charming town, it may be what I'm looking for in retirement. Can anyone suggest a good hotel near downtown ?
Please please please educate us as you wander. Trivia about the founder, what type of architecture are the buildings….something for us to learn. We saw the town but basically learned nothing except the metal stars. How old is the bridge? When has the town been flooded? Teach us about what you are seeing on the walks.
Thanks for watching! I know it might be frustrating - but I am not a tour guide in most places I visit. I’m exploring and wandering and showing you my first visit to a place. I’m not expert at these places - and don’t want to google things and pretend that I am!
My grandmother said on her first marriage certificate that she was from Mason, KY. I with someone would tell me more history of this town. Her background was a bit confusing and being passed on there is no one to tell me anything. Anyway, she was born anywhere from 1884 to 1888. Her first husband and thus her new last name was Widup. But she divorced rather soon after that marriage and wrote her name as Vivian Asbury. She gave my dad that Asbury name for his middle name. I wonder if anyone can find Asbury at a gravesite in Mason. I can't find her parents or what I think might be her biological parents. I find Vivian in the census records but she's moved and has what seems to be adoptive parents The Grubbs. So who were her biological parents. If anyone is familiar with the Mason cemetaries let me know.

Had a fun morning walking with you Greg!
11:21 When I ride 🏍️ down (3 hrs back roads from Columbus), I always cross the bridge. I feel it shaking. It’s both very cool and hairfrying.
So much post Revolutionary War history in Ky via Wilderness Road and Ohio River. Awesome walk! Lovely town. Thanks Bit.
You bet!!!

lol - hey thanks and I’m delighted that you loved the video!
Maysville is perfect for water hills and the train. Amazing combo. If Daniel Boone were alive.

That means a lot - I always hope to do these amazing places justice. Sad I missed the opera house!!!

Oh man!!! I can’t believe I missed a great coffee shop!!
George Clooney’s “hometown” :)

Hey thanks so much Michael. Glad you enjoyed the video and I hope you get some good info.
Lolol. You passed and walked all around the coffee shops.
It was a comedy of errors. Next time more coffee research
30 minutes away from home :)
Yes the Ohio River belongs to the state of Kentucky.. #funfact And the state really tries to make that clear in the Cincinnati area lol
Thank you, after seeing this I'm considering moving to Maysville! I certainly want to visit and stay a night or two. What a charming town, it may be what I'm looking for in retirement. Can anyone suggest a good hotel near downtown ?
The French Quarter Inn that we walked past did look nice - although I have not stayed there
@@ThePerfectWalk Thanks, just finished watching and will be looking it up online. Just subscribed to your channel as well.
No coffee!

Ok then.
Go check out hayswood.
Who remembers Mama Joe's pizza?
Those are brick streets, not cobblestone!

Wow I hope you can find more info!!!
another ghost town, like cincinnati. it's strange.
Wrong, hardly a ghost town! Why is it strange? Because it's a decent clean place to live?
