Bybee Pottery

The picture of the Bybee Pottery

Bybee Pottery is located in the small rural town of Bybee, among the hills of Madison County, Kentucky on Highway 52E. Bybee Pottery stands as a landmark of pioneer days. It is the oldest existing pottery west of the Alleghenies.

The old log building has housed the equipment and business of Bybee Pottery for over a century. Legend states that this pottery was originally established in 1809, and actual sales records prove its existence as a thriving industry as early as 1845.
