Although we were only in the Louisville area for a week, we sure did a lot. I had more pictures than I realized, so here are the pictures of places we saw outside of Louisville.
|
A few people took a break and rode the go carts. |
|
We had quite a group at Grandma's RV Park in Shepherdsville, KY. |
|
In Bardstown we had lunch at this 200 year old tavern. It has been a place for food, drink and lodging continuously for over 200 years. |
|
The visitor center and city office building in the middle of town square. |
|
This old jail house was built in 1797 and operated as a jail until 1987. I wonder what that guy is locked up for? |
|
Heaven Hill Distillery warehouse. Notice the color. Only Makers Mark paints theirs a dark brown. They say it is so they don't have to wash off the black mold, like above. |
|
Inside the warehouse. |
|
More horses in Bardstown. |
|
City Hall in Elizabethtown town square. |
|
Many of these little towns have a roundabout circling the town square. (Maybe it should be town circle?) |
|
The characters from our guided walk around Elizabethtown, circa 1850s. |
|
General Custer and a local lawyer of the times. |
|
Ft. Duffield overlooking the Ohio River. |
|
The cobblestone Louisville-Nashville Turnpike built in 1839, West Point, KY. This was a major stagecoach route through this area along the Ohio River. |
|
Old church, established in West Point in 1789. |
|
Stagecoach stop, built in 1797. Still in use today as a bed and breakfast. I think there were over 20 homes listed on the National Register as historic places, many over 200 years old. I wonder how many buildings from today will still be standing in 200 years. |
|
Abraham Lincoln was born south of Elizabethtown. Built in a similar fashion as Lincoln's memorial, it houses a replica of the cabin he was born in. |
|
The birthplace of Abraham Lincoln. |
|
The bridge on I-65 crossing the Ohio River in Louisville. |
|
Another bridge crossing the Ohio River in Louisville. |
