Bryan Station High School was named for the pioneer defenders of Bryan Station Springs and Fort who successfully withstood a siege by Indians and Canadians in August 1782. A memorial has been erected in memory of the brave women of the fort who carried water from a nearby spring to the fort in anticipation of the attack. Bryan Station fields its athletic teams under the fighting name of the "DEFENDERS" reminiscent of the courage and valor of the early Kentucky pioneers. View the Bryan's Station monument.
