Kentucky Landmarks; National Register Eligibility

The Mount Pleasant Baptist Church and Sadieville Rosenwald School were awarded Kentucky Landmark Certificates from the Kentucky Heritage Council. The Certificates are the official recognition by the State of Kentucky of the historical significance of these buildings. The Certificates were signed by Governor Steve Beshear.

On September 14th we received a letter from the Kentucky Heritage Council stating that the Mt Pleasant Baptist Church and the Sadieville Rosenwald School are eligible for the National Register of Historic Places under criterion A for their association with the history of African-American education, religion, and society in the early twentieth century Sadieville.

We will now make plans to proceed with the nomination of the two structures and have been developing plans for preservation and continued use.

Part of the plans for the nomination process will be seeking the funds through grants, donations and fundraisers. If you are interested in making a donation, please call (502) 857-4576.

We greatly appreciate your support and partnership with this project!
