We are pleased to present the first of what we hope to be a long line of quarterly publications of “Lincoln County Living,” a magazine celebrating the past, present, and future of Lincoln County. Knowing the past helps us understand how the people who came before us shaped the world we live in today, and also helps us plan for and shape the future for ourselves and those who come after us.
In each issue, you can expect to find a Lincoln County history article concerning a subject matter, event, or place which has not been widely explored or explained. We will take certain things as a given, and build off a baseline that readers know the basics about Logan’s Fort, the Wilderness Road, and William Whitley’s first brick house.
While those things are iconic and important, our county is much more than just that.
Each edition will also have local government information, seasonal recipes, and human interest features in an effort to reflect the best of Lincoln County.
Lincoln County is a special place. Its location and natural resources made it an important place for early settlers, and its people, both the early settlers and those who came later, made it a civilized place to live. Today, we do not have to bear the same burdens, and, in fact, we benefit from our forefathers’ struggles. We have clean water, sanitary sewers, electricity, paved roads, good schools, and safe homes because of the efforts made by people who lived and died long before us.
