September 25, 200817 yr Don't forget Big Bone Lick, which is on Beaver Road, just down a spell from Beaver Lick. :cool: Jim, you should take a poll of people and ask them if they prefer Big Bone Lick or Beaver Lick more. Just be sure to include a third option because some may like both equally. I'm just curious as to which is the more popular destination.
September 25, 200817 yr Growing up in W. Kentucky, I gotta say Barkley and Kentucky lakes are hard to beat for outdoor summer recreation.
September 25, 200817 yr Natural Bridge Cumberland Gap Jenny Wiley Cumberland Lake The Kentucky Horse Park and Keeneland Land Between the Lakes Mammoth Cave My Old Kentucky Home The Stephen Foster Story Makers Mark Distillery The Heaven Hill Bourbon Heritage Center Churchill Downs Louisville Slugger Field Louisville Slugger Museum Centre College The Kentucky Corvette Museum Abraham Lincoln's Boyhood Home Daniel Boone National Forest Newport Aquarium Moonlight Barbeque in Owensboro Shaker Village at Pleasant Hill The Kentucky River The Ohio River Thunder Over Louisville Bluegrass Music Festival This is just a random sampling of my thoughts, and in no particular order. We are on a 3 day vacation, we hit My Old KY Home today, took the tour and the place is very nice. We also went to the Lincoln Homestead SP, then Lincoln's Boyhood Home at Knob Creek, and then on to his birth place in Larue County. Tomorrow is Mammoth cave tour (4hours/4miles) and then onto Rough River Dam resort for a night. Very busy two days for the wife and I, luckily I brought some beverages since Cave City is "moist".
September 25, 200817 yr Patti's On The River (restaurant in western KY) Land Between the Lakes (dwarfs Lake Cumberland) Pratt Museum at Fort Campbell I know them both well. Patti's is terrific. I like to go there after a good mountain bike ride at the Canal Loops, a trail on the northern most end of Land Between The Lakes. There's actually a plan in the works to make a new museum at Fort Campbell, "The Wings of Liberty". It will be just off of 41A (on post though) so visitors won't need a pass to get on post. Later.
September 25, 200817 yr There's a GREAT homecookin restaurant in Berea!! Could someone supply the name for me!! If it's not the Boone Tavern, could it possibly be the Dinner Bell?

There's also the General George Patton Museum located at Fort Knox. Located on 31W (Dixie Hwy) just north of the Gold Vault and the newest Kentucky Veterans Cemetery, this museum is also accessible to the public without going through checkpoints. Originally dedicated by Patton's wife in 1949, the museum was remodeled and enlarged in 1992. On the inside it contains WWI, WW2, and Post War Galleries, gift shop and the largest collection of Patton artifacts in the world. Outside are located armor and artillery displays, Armor Memorial Park and Keyes Park. It's a great place for field trips, group trips, or people who are just military history buffs. Hosting over 125,000 visitors a year, the Patton Museum is one of the largest in the entire Army's museum system. It's well worth a day's drive to take the family for a visit. Kids love to perch on the military vehicles for photo ops.
October 14, 200817 yr I don't know if I just missed this but what about the Frankfort Tour. The Capitol, the old Capitol building with tons of history museums and the Frankfort cemetary with the grave of Daniel Boone overlooking the Ky. river.

October 19, 200817 yr I seem to recall you saying it was no big deal back when its closure was announced, and I noted how much of a shame it was that none of the UK bluebloods would cut a check to keep it open. :lol: Your obsessed with UK basketball....
October 19, 200817 yr William Whitley House in Lincoln County. It is the first brick house west of the Allegheny Mountains. They are also in the beginning stages of rebuilding Logan's Fort in Stanford. It was the first settlement in Kentucky but an Indian attack drove the settlers to Fort Harrod. As such, Harrodsburg (named for James Harrod's settlement) is recognized as the oldest town in Kentucky and Stanford (named for "Standing Fort" for its survival after an Indian Attack) is recognized as the second oldest.
