Don't touch, wet paint...

I am often asked by people outside of this area, where or what is "Black Gnat"? Black Gnat is a small rural community between Greensburg & Campbellsville Kentucky.

The story goes that over a hundred years ago, the people in this community got together on a hot summer day to paint the local one room school house. After getting a fresh coat of white paint on the building, the legend goes that a huge swarm of black gnats engulfed the building, sticking in the wet paint.

Ever since that fateful day, this community has been known as "Black Gnat".
