In the first week of November 1803, the expedition passed Uniontown, Kentucky. One week ahead of the expedition, fellow river traveler Thomas Rodney praised the hunting, lamented the poor fishing, and thought its harbor excellent:
“[G]ot to the settlement where we found the best and nicest harbor we have met with in the Ohio. Two muscle bars of sand and pebbles crossed a small part of the cove of the river with a gap to go in and 6 ft. water over the bason inclosed by them.”
—Thomas Rodney October 28, 1803
Rodney’s “muscle bars” still shelter today’s boat ramp and a fishing pier. Hannah’s Place is the social life of the town, and the She Shed Bakery specializes in decorated cookies.
