You can look for information in books in the RCSHS library, in the files that have been loaned to us from the Rowan County Public Library, and use your surface table to research information from online databases or local websites (The Morehead News, Morehead Tourism Commission, etc). You are also lucky to have local experts at your disposal! Mrs. Johnson has the contact information for ALL the local experts that presented when we attended the KYTSE Kick Off event at the beginning of school.
