The Yeager General Store, which was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983, is located in Wise's Landing.

[2] Wise's Landing hamlet is at Barebone Creek's mouth on the Ohio River and Kentucky Route 1488.

[11] There was a George Corn who lived in the area and died in 1832, with children recorded as living in (then designated) Henry County (now Trimble), and there is also a record of a Corn's Old Farm in the Act of the Kentucky General Assembly that established Trimble and set its county bundaries, so it is possible that the creek was named for a local family.

[12] The 1937 Ohio River flood washed all but two of the buildings located in the lower portion of the town off of their foundations.

[9] The Yeager General Store, which was built in 1911 and is located in Wise's Landing, was listed on the National Register of Historic Places[13] in 1983.

[9] A road from United States Highway 42 at Bedford to Wises Landing was authorized by the Kentucky General Assembly in 1932.

[17][18] It is not accessible inland by vehicle, only by footpath down from the ridges; or by boat from Lee's Landing in Indiana across the Ohio River half a mile away.

[21] The mouth of Spring Creek, another of the Trimble County waterways, is 563.2 miles (906.4 km) below Pittsburgh on the packet ferry charts.

[24] Construction work at the site began in 1979, and involved clearing 1,000 acres (400 ha) and moving part of a road.

[9] The 1939 WPA Trimble County history records two churches for Wise's Landing, one "Baptist" and one "Christian".

[32][33] It was founded on 1800-10-14 by William Taylor and Joshua Morris, the eight charter members adopting the Philadelphia Confession of Faith with three reservations.
