Andrew Patrick is a graduate of Centre College and completed his MA and PhD in American History at the University of Kentucky. His research and writing has focused on the agricultural system of the central Bluegrass region from before the first crop was planted through the aftermath of the abolition of slavery in the 19th century. He has written on the cultural and environmental context of Kentucky agriculture, with a particular emphasis on the role of the hemp industry. He has published in academic journals including the Register of the Kentucky Historical Society and The Journal of Southern History, but prefers speaking about history with his students and the public. His working life has taken him on a tour of historical organizations and schools including stints at Shaker Village at Pleasant Hill, multiple roles at the Kentucky Historical Society, back to Centre as an Assistant Professor, and finally to his current position teaching at the Sayre School in Lexington.
