The Anderson Ferry has been transporting people and their vehicles from one side of the Ohio River for 192 years. The business has survived the invention of automobiles, construction of bridges and freeways, the Civil War and the Great Depression, and it continues to transport about 500 vehicles every day. Since 1817, it has made hundreds of thousands of trips from Constance, Ky., to Cincinnati, Ohio, and back.
