Darnell gives a tour of the crypt on her land where pioneer settler families were buried in a mass grave with descendants of those families who lived on the land at one time off of Old Lair Road in Cynthiana, KY on June 28, 2022. “In this field is where the fort once stood,” Darnell said. A monument at the edge of the field where the Ruddle’s Fort once stood, which was built by Isaac Ruddle in 1779.
