There is a Brank Historic Exhibit at the county public Genealogy and Local History Annex. There is a historically accurate Kentucky long rifle and powder horn as well as a cardboard cutout of Brank.
He is buried on an honored spot at the Old Greenville Cemetery, close to city hall and the state has a historic marker there. In addition, there is a "Lt. Ephraim Brank Memorial Trail."
Brank was born in North Carolina in 1791 and settled in Muhlenberg County about 1808 and was regarded as a crack shot.
