Morehead Attractions
Morehead (pop. 5,900) was the site of the first of Cora Wilson Stewart's "moonlight schools" in 1911. The classes were held on moonlit nights to adults from 18 to 86 and was a factor in eliminating illiteracy in Kentucky. The Morehead area offers recreational opportunities such as hiking, bicycling and horseback riding.
