This exceptional photo of a portion of Jessamine Creek was taken by Tina Gilbert, a descendant of Dr. Peter Trisler, one of the earliest settlers to this portion of Jessamine County. It was through Dr. Peter's efforts that many of the German Protestants, who had settled first at Hagerstown, Maryland, eventually made their way to this area.
