Flooding has frequently been a problem for Shepherdsville, and 1961 was one of the worst ones. Some of these pictures show locations that have changed little in the last half-century, so you may appreciate just how high the water got during that flood. We are grateful to Jason Crenshaw for sharing these with us.
