From 2 years ago:

The Kentucky Historical Society Roadside Marker honoring “Morgan’s First Raid” which tells about the July 9, 1862 Civil War Battle of Tompkinsville was hit by a vehicle and severely damaged over two years ago. Originally located on Celina Road at the Tompkinsville Elementary School entrance, the marker ( #524) was erected in 1962 to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the battle. Grandview Welding donated their time to repair the damage and the marker has been relocated. For safety and better visibility the marker has been moved to the Monroe County Courthouse lawn joining two other markers currently located there: “Monroe County - Tompkinsville Named” & “Courthouse Burned.”

Special thanks to Brian Froedge and Grandview Welding for repairing the marker, the KY State Highway Department for erecting the marker, County Judge Executive Mitchell Page for the new location & Chad Comer for overseeing the project.

Since 1949, the Kentucky Historical Society has partnered with community members to install more than 2,400 historical markers across the Commonwealth that share the state's complex and remarkable history.
This collaborative process has evolved through the decades, but its fundamental goal has remained the same: to educate Kentuckians about important historical topics near the meaningful sites connected to them.

Other historical markers in Monroe County include: Camp Anderson, Freetown Church, Gamaliel, Indian Creek Church & Famous Tree, Tompkinsville National Cemetery, Moore’s Mill and Old Mulkey Church.

The Catacombs of Paris are underground ossuaries in Paris, France, that contain the remains of about six million people. An ossuary is a chest, box, building, well, or site made to serve as the final resting place of human skeletal remains. They are frequently used where burial space is scarce. A body is first buried in a temporary grave, then after some years the skeletal remains are removed and placed in an ossuary. The greatly reduced space taken up by an ossuary means that it is possible to store the remains of many more people in a single tomb than if the original coffins were left as is.
