The monument was erected by The Lexington Chapter of The Daughters of
the American Revolution on August 15, 1896. ![](images/bsmonument01.jpg)
The site for Bryan's Station was chosen primarily for its proximity to
the spring, which sits just off a tributary of Elkhorn Creek. ![](images/bsmonument02.jpg)

"In honor of the women of Bryan's Station who on the 15th of August 1782
faced a savage host in ambush and with a heroic courage and a sublime self-sacrifice
that will remain forever illustrious obtained from this spring the water
that made possible the successful defense of that station." ![](images/bsmonument06.jpg)
