Description
A beautiful image of the local Christmas tree here in Bardstown Kentucky voted Most beautiful Small town in America. I have used textures along with effects to give the image the look of a painting. The Christmas Tree sits in front of the old court house in the round about.
First settled by European Americans in 1780, Bardstown is the second oldest city in Kentucky.[4] Named county seat of the newly created Nelson County, Virginia (now Kentucky) in 1784, the town was formally established in 1788. It was incorporated by the state assembly in 1838.[3]
Reflecting the westward migration of Americans over the "Blue Ridge" after the Revolutionary War, Bardstown was also the first center of Roman Catholicism west of the Appalachian Mountains in the original western frontier territories of the United States.[5] The Diocese of Bardstown was established on February 8, 1808, by Pope Pius VII, (1742-1823, served 1800-1823), to serve all Catholics between the Appalachians and the Mississippi River. This divided the previous all-encompassing Diocese of Baltimore, established in 1789. This area is now served by 44 dioceses and archdioceses in 10 states, showing the development of communities with Catholics across the nation as immigration brought new populations.
