Road trip!
Many have made the drive across the Bluegrass State, but too often we bypass all the worthwhile distractions between Paw Paw in Pike County and the Kentucky Bend of the Mississippi River in Fulton County—treasures such as Abraham Lincoln’s boyhood home that rests inside a Greek-style temple and the buffalo that roam the modern-day prairies of Land Between the Lakes. Whether you’re a native or long-time Kentuckian or if you’re a recent transplant, there is always something new to discover exploring your own backyard. This talk travels the parkways, byways and backroads of the Bluegrass State and outlines some of Kentucky’s most famous historical destinations and natural wonders as well as some of her best kept secrets.
Kentucky native Blair Thomas Hess is the author of four travel books about Kentucky’s history, its people, and its natural wonders. This presentation will highlight fun and educational destinations to help Kentuckians of all ages explore the amazing and irreplaceable things that make the state one of a kind.
This presentation will be held at the Pike County Public Library on June 27th at 5:30. No registration is required.
This program was funded in part by Kentucky Humanities and the National Endowment for the Humanities.
