Revolutionary War in Kentucky


Knox Central High School, Revolutionary War Hall

A few months ago an effort began at Knox Central High School in Knox County, Kentucky to reach

back in time to return to the basics of American history. To dedicate a hall to the first American

army. The hall would be named “Revolution Hall.” A dedication service was held on the 9th of

November 2012.

A tour through this hall will reveal a pictorial remembrance of America’s birth and struggles thereof.

The essential requirements, and demands that were carried out to obtain America’s national

sovereignty, made who we are--Americans.

May America never lose sight of the sacrifices of those who have gone before us to the attainment of

Her sovereignty. On the justification of the Judeo-Christian ethos.

Woodrow Wilson said the following: “A nation which does not remember what it was yesterday,

does not know what it is today, nor what it is trying to do.”

The author of the above remarks was Don Root, a member of the Captain Charles Gatliff SAR

Chapter. Don, who originated the idea of “Revolution Hall,” spoke at the dedication ceremony. He is

a direct descendant of one of George Washington’s Life Guards. Don Root

The Knox Central High School JROTC Color Guard presents Colors at the dedication service

of “Revolution Hall.” At the top of the picture you will see George Washington’s

Commander’s flag, a copy of the U.S. Constitution and pictures of General Henry Knox and

George Washington. In the hall, one will find about 40 pictures and historical documents

relating to the Revolutionary War and the founding of our country.
