Duncan Tavern

In 1941, the Kentucky Society, Daughters of the American Revolution (KSDAR) made a remarkable decision that would preserve a vital piece of Kentucky’s heritage. For just one dollar, they acquired the deteriorating property at 323 High Street in Paris—saving Duncan Tavern from demolition.

Today, this treasured landmark, now valued at nearly $1 million, stands as one of Kentucky’s most significant historic structures and a powerful link to the Commonwealth’s earliest days.
