This is an all volunteer staff(very friendly) that operates the Saturday morning and afternoon excursions. You pass some horse farms and gentle rolling hills culminating in a stop at a stunning view of an old trestle bridge over the Kentucky River. The bridge deemed unsafe for railroad travel is used for bungee jumping now believe it or not. At $20 for first class in an air conditioned car(lower for other options) plus a small museum of old railroad memorabilia it was an inexpensive way to spend the day. The one downside is that there is no bathrooms on the train so remember to go before you leave. Also, perhaps spend some time in downtown Versailles visiting the cute shops and the coffee shop there.

The Kentucky Military History Museum admission is included with admission to the Old State Capitol…read morebuilding. Our family visited last week. The building, complete with turrets, served as the second state arsenal after fire destroyed the first building near the Old State Capitol. Architect Nathaniel Cooke designed the arsenal in the 1850s. The arsenal was captured by the Confederates during the Civil War but later reclaimed by Union troops. Today, the building serves as a museum of weapons, artillery and memorabilia from early U.S. wars through present. I found, of most interest, the stories and memorabilia of Kentucky residents that served in various wars. There are two floors of museum, which are accessible by elevator or stairs. The museum is immaculate. A curator is available to answer questions. Free parking is available in their dedicated lot. The museum is worth a visit if you like military history.

Located on South Main Street, in Winchester, I've driven by this place tens times. It's an old…read morehospital building, and they describe it as a signature Romanesque Revival building. It's three levels of bluegrass heritage, history, artifacts, etc. We were exploring the Hemp Fest this weekend and this was a recommended stop. They had a shuttle taking you to and from the fest. They recently added a hemp exhibit here, so this was a great opportunity to bring people in. Today they had a lady spinning hemp fiber and explaining that process and more. There was another volunteer in the hemp exhibit area. She too was super knowledgeable. I was surprised to learn how much hemp farming is part of the Winchester history. Located on the third floor, is the surgery room. As I walked around up there, I literally experienced the cold chills knowing the demise of many people in years past. If you work or are interested in the health field I definitely would recommend checking it out. That's not all on the top floor, but I'll leave the rest for you to discover. The second floor was my favorite. That's where the military history is. Usually I'm not too fascinated by history, but I was pleasantly surprised here. It was astounding to learn about the amount of the people who were drafted and served in several wars. The history that involved Clark Countians, was beyond intriguing to me. I'll post some exhibit photos. Don't miss it though, especially if you're a Kentuckian or if you're intrigued by history.

THIS ISN'T A MUSIC HISTORY MUSEUM I'm from California and I thought bluegrass was just a type of…read moremusic but I'm so happy I stopped by- it's a whole region! This museum has historical documents and artifacts that predate the state of Kentucky - the museum is run by former educators and they've put a lot of love and effort into this place- even restored floors and matched paint from its hospital days. I spent practically the whole four hours it was open wandering around with my tour guide and I feel like there was more to talk about. This woman was digging around attics and stuff getting old log books and things that by all reasonable people would have been lost to time and negligence and safeguarding them for the future. She was a fount of information and you can tell she cares a lot about the place and the history of the people that lived in Winchester. There's a whole room dedicated to military members and artifacts from various wars- long rifles and french phrase books, uniforms and captured flags. The whole museum is so well designed. I absolutely suggest you stop here if you're anywhere within a hundred miles, it's well worth it.
