At the request of Father Paul Joseph Volk, five Ursuline Sisters came from Louisville in 1874 by flatboat to establish a school in western Daviess County at the site that is now Maple Mount, Kentucky. In 1912, the Ursuline Sisters of Mount Saint Joseph became an autonomous congregation. The Flatboat journey was reenacted by the Ursuline Sisters of Mount Saint Joseph in 2004 to commemorate their arrival 125 years ago. Click here to view the Ursuline Sisters Timeline.
