DAR Supports Historic Sherman Tavern
The Captain John Lillard Chapter, NSDAR, proudly supports historic preservation efforts in our local communities and throughout the great Commonwealth of Kentucky, including the local historic site, Sherman Tavern.

In recent years, the Friends of Historic Sherman Tavern have done much to restore and preserve this important piece of Kentucky history, and the Captain John Lillard Chapter, NSDAR, is proud to continually support and assist in these efforts.
