Revered John Tanner, one of the finest men to arrive in the Ohio Valley, established Tanner’s Station in Boone County, Kentucky in 1791.
The Tanner family had numerous run ins with native peoples throughout the years, most of these CURSED encounters were deadly for many of the Tanner descendants.
The Tanner’s Station name was changed to Petersburg, KY in 1818, but the legend of Tanner’s Curse lives on.
