ALEXANDRIA, Ky. – Steve Battistone was curious.
In 2004, he bought a house in Fort Thomas that was built in 1924. He wanted to know more about the previous owners and the history neighbors had created on the street. So, he turned to the Campbell County Historical and Genealogical Society for help.
They helped him unearth public records, like old deeds and newspapers, so he could piece together local history. He was delighted to learn his street, Von Zuben Court, was built by and named after a tailor who worked at the military fort the Northern Kentucky city is named after.
Now, Battistone is the president of the historical center so he can help others relive local history.
