Steeped in history

The Samuel Murrell House eight miles northeast of Bowling Green on U.S. 31-W has once again been recognized as a historical site. Already on the National Register of Historical Places the house recently was added to the Kentucky Historical Highway Marker Program. The markee at the right of the picture specifies that the house, built in 1841 by Murrell was a well known inn and stagecoach stop on the Louisville-Nashville Road until the L & N Railroad was completed in 1859. The property once belonged to Susannah Henry Madison, wife of General Thomas Madison and sister of Patrick Henry.
