Old bardstown pioneer cemetery is an extremely old and hidden cemetery in the historic downtown…read moreBardstown area. So hidden the place does not have a name marker. I had to Google it to find the real name. Located directly behind Bardstown old jailhouse which is now jailhouse inn a bee and breakfast joint. If you follow the ally next to the inn you will walk right into this place. Very small but beautiful landscaping and who knows how old some of these graves are. Most of them have no names or writing on them at all and they are spread out in a random and sporadic order. Overall this is a really neat and fun discovery that's just another hidden gem on the historic Bardstown Kentucky downtown area.

The historical marker is in front of a strip mall that contains a veterinarian office and some other professionals. Between that and the fast food restaurant, you'll see a tall mound and at the top, a low stone wall. The marker is on two sides. On one, it reads, "This Hardin County native was one of Kentucky's most celebrated lawyers. In legislature 17 yrs.; rose to House Speaker. Elected lt. gov., he became governor when John J. Crittenden resigned, 1850. Pres. of L&N R.R., 1854-60, when railroad completed. A harsh critic of Presideny Lincoln, Helm favored neutrality for Kentucky in the Civil War. Elected governor 1867. Died after five days in office." And on the other, "This pioneer cemetery includes the graves of John LaRue Helm, who served two incomplete terms as Governor of Kentucky, and his son, Confederate Gen. Ben Hardin Helm, who fell at battle of Chickamauga, September 20, 1863. Gen. Helm and Abraham Lincoln married half-sisters, Emilie and Mary Todd, the daughters of Robert S. Todd of Lexington, Kentucky." The cemetery is at the top of the wall and the gate was open when I stopped by. This family cemetery is definitely well-maintained and contains a number of aged headstones and markers for the Helm family. For those interested in the Civil War and Kentucky history, it is worth a stop. [Review 13602 overall, 921 of 2020, number 112 in Kentucky.]

It battles and barely bests a more traditional rendition of a crucifix, the 55-footer in Indian River, Michigan. The one in Bardstown overlooks a cemetery, and is spindly, like a ship's mast. An easy quick stop to see.
