Mount Washington, Bullitt County, KY
HISTORY

Shepherdsville. Louisville to Bardstown was north to south and Taylorsville to
Shepherdsville east to west with the Crossroads being about half way between all of them.
This was about 1820s. Mt. Washington was then called Mt. Vernon, but the name was changed
