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. |
