Maysville

Maysville combines the working legacy of an Ohio River port with the gentler pace of northeastern Kentucky's rolling countryside, reflecting its borderland position opposite Ohio. The river shaped the city’s commercial life in the 19th century, when Maysville served as a landing point for goods moving between the interior and the waterway. Its place in US political history is marked by President Andrew Jackson’s 1830 veto of the Maysville Road bill, a dispute over federal support for internal improvements. Downtown, the Russell Theatre preserves an Art Deco presence, while the Simon Kenton Memorial Bridge links Maysville with Aberdeen, Ohio.
