YAHOO FALLS — McCreary County is about to have one less historical marker.
Officials with the Daniel Boone National Forest announced last week their intention to remove the black granite monument erected under mysterious circumstances last year at the entrance to Yahoo Falls.
The monument commemorates the 1810 Massacre at Yahoo Falls. There are just two problems.
One, it is illegal to erect any monument on U.S. Forest Service land without permission.
Two, DBNF officials question whether the event actually took place.
Forest Archeologist Chris Jenkins said Friday that officials had contacted several suspects so that the monument could be removed privately to no avail.
“No one has taken responsibility,” Jenkins said.
