Bicentennial Book – 200 years – Pike County

The newly formed Bicentennial Planning Committee will be publishing a book commemorating 200 years of history, events and stories of the people of Pike County which will be available for sale in 2015. There will be a historical accounting of events that led up to 2015, but a large portion of the book will be about the people of Pike County and how our ancestors and present day families contributed and helped shape the history of Pike County for the last 200 years.
