Ben Moran House, is a historical residence in Mason County, Kentucky, which was built in 1818. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1987, as part of a study of early stone houses in Kentucky.It is located on the north-east corner of the intersection of Kentucky Route 8 and 10, about 0.5 miles (0.80 km) west of Moranburg, a hamlet, in Mason County, named for the Moran family.It is a one and a half storey three-bay dry-stone house about 32 by 18 feet (9.8 m × 5.5 m) in plan, and is primarily Federal in style. It was in "good" condition in 1984. Its roof was replaced by a higher one in the 1880s either to make more space or to follow the then-current Gothic Revival fashion. The house had a rear ell which was damaged in a 1981 fire and was removed or replaced.It was asserted to be "unique for its very primitive off-center fenestration reflecting the plan. It is not as sophisticated as the similarly sized Streube House (BK-23) in neighboring Bracken County. This one and the McGee House (ME-178 N.R.) in Mercer County are the most non-symmetrical of the early stone houses in Kentucky. This house was enlarged by steepening the roof in the Gothic period, either to add space or because of a change in fashion."

The Maysville roadcut, located in northeastern Kentucky, features Upper Ordovician rock and fossils. Maysville is located in Mason County, Kentucky and contains a large roadcut along the U.S. Route 68 highway. The Maysville roadcut lies on the Clyde T. Barbour Parkway. The roadcut was human-made in the 1950s and consists of rock from the Ordovician period that is roughly 450 million years old. Maysville provides an opportunity to observe the stratigraphy of the formations present of the Ordovician time period. The roadcut is made up of three different formations: the Kope, Fairview, and Bellevue in ascending order. They are broken up into different layers that can be identified by different sediments and fossils present. The Maysville roadcut formations are made up primarily of shale and limestone. The abundance of each rock type differs amongst the three formations. Shale dominates in the Bellevue formation. Limestone is most prevalent in Fairview formation. A mix of limestone and shale is found in the Kope formation. There are a wide variety of invertebrate fossils that can be found at the Maysville roadcut, including trilobites, cephalopods, crinoids, gastropods, brachiopods, bryozoans. The abundance and presence of fossil types differs depending on the formation viewed. This is due to the differences in ecosystems and environmental conditions at the time of each formation. The Ordovician was a time when the land we know today was covered by a hot, shallow sea. The Cincinnati Arch, where Maysville can be found, was at about twenty three degrees south of the equator. Roadcuts such as Maysville roadcut have attracted those interested in collecting fossils, ranging from professionals at universities to amateurs in the area. Part of Maysville fossil collecting is fossil identification. Fossil identification books for Ohio and the Cincinnati area can serve as a resource. Furthermore, the Dry Dredgers is an amateur fossil collecting and geology group located in Cincinnati, Ohio. Their website also provides information for fossil identification.

The Pogue House is a historic house in Maysville, Kentucky. It was built in 1845 on a fifteen-acre lot for industrialist Michael Ryan. The property was named "Riverside" by Ryan since it sits on a hillside with a sweeping ten-mile (16 km) vista of the Ohio River. The property was subdivided in 1955 and the historic portion currently comprises three acres. The Greek Revival floor plan includes three stories of living space two rooms wide and two rooms deep with a center hall plus a partial basement. The brick structure with an ashlar limestone foundation was one of the largest Kentucky residences in 1845 with 4,850 square feet (451 m2) of living space.The residence was purchased by Henry E. Pogue II and significantly upgraded circa 1890. Improvements included the installation of three sets of pocket doors and quarter sawn flooring on the first level. One of the first bathrooms in Mason County was installed on the second floor. The porch was replaced by a 42 ft (13 m). x 18 ft. roofed stone and tile terrace. The terrace deteriorated over time and was eventually demolished.Henry Pogue was a distiller who opened the H. E. Pogue Distillery in 1876 near the residence his son would later purchase. The distillery was a large scale operation which could produce up to 2,000 gallons of whiskey per day and carried a normal inventory of 15,000 barrels of aging whiskey. At its peak, distillery employment was more than 100. Popular brands around the start of the 20th century included "Old Time" Sour Mash Pure Whiskey and "Belle of Maysville" Fire Copper Whiskey. Henry E. Pogue II ran the distillery until his death in 1918 in a distillery accident.

Point Au View is an Italian villa architecture house located in Mason County, Kentucky. It was built in the 1850s for Judge Emory C. Whitaker, a prominent Maysville lawyer. Whitaker was born in New Hampshire in 1816 and moved to Kentucky in 1841. In 1849, he was elected to represent Mason County in the lower house of the Kentucky state legislature. He was elected Mason County Judge in 1853 and served for eight years.Construction of the house on the Whitaker farm began in 1854 and continued for a number of years. Bricks used for construction of the 13-inch-thick walls were made on site. Completion was accelerated and the family occupied the house in 1860 based on a rumor that the unfinished structure was about to be confiscated to serve as a base hospital during the Civil War. The Whitaker family occupied the property until about 1900 when it was sold to a prominent horseman named Langhorn Anderson. Horses from the farm were shown every year at the Germantown Fair. Stone pillars from the farm's show rings still stand on the grounds.The farm was sold in the 1930s and subdivided into building lots. The house stood empty for several years and deteriorated from lack of maintenance. Robert Buckley bought the house in 1946 and restored many of its original features as well as adding a modern kitchen and three-car garage.

The Henry Perviance Peers House is a rectangular, two-story painted brick house in Maysville, Kentucky overlooking the Ohio River. The structure has a moderately pitched standing-seam hipped roof with a flat center section. There are four chimneys extending from the roof line, and the flat portion of the hipped roof has an unusual framed clerestory window that provides ventilation and natural light to the attic room. It is built into the hillside such that the northern face is two-story while the southern face is single-story.Henry Peers (1807–1846) was employed during the early 1840s as a general agent for the Maysville Eagle Newspaper, traveling to the larger towns in Kentucky to expand the subscription base and gather news. He began taking notes on the Kentucky history he gathered in the course of his work with the intent to author a Gazetteer for the state but died in March 1846 before publishing it. He left a 250-page manuscript of narrative and statistics that was used by his employer and brother-in-law, Lewis Collins, as the basis for a history of Kentucky.Peers was the son of Major Valentine Peers, born in Ireland and a veteran of the American Revolution. Major Peers moved to Maysville in 1803 and became one of the area's most successful pioneer industrialists.

Armstrong Row is a series of 11 brick row houses in Maysville, Kentucky built between 1820 and 1833 by John Armstrong, a local industrialist, entrepreneur and real estate developer. Vacant lots were purchased by an Armstrong owned company that operated the Maysville cotton mill. The company continued to operate as the January & Wood Company until 2003. Armstrong also developed a number of other row house projects in Maysville including the Federal style row houses on Limestone Street, Mechanic's Row, and the "Allen Block".The Armstrong Row houses are two story brick with gable roofs and stepped parapet walls in both Federal and Greek Revival style. The facade is Flemish bond and sides are common bond. Although similar in construction, the gable roofs vary in pitch suggesting the buildings were constructed either by more than one builder or over a period of time. John Armstrong was born in Ireland in 1779 and emigrated to America with his family circa 1790. He bought his first Maysville property in 1800 from Jacob Boone, a first cousin of Daniel Boone. He later operated several wholesale houses on front street becoming wealthy in the process.Armstrong was instrumental in the early development of the city and was the first to sign a petition to move the county seat from Washington to Maysville. He was a member of the company responsible for building the Maysville and Lexington Turnpike, he established the first bank in Kentucky in Maysville in 1818, and was a member of the committee that welcomed General Lafayette to Maysville in an 1825 visit.
