This is the most disrespectful person I have ever met in my entire life . I've traveled with my…read morehusband for the past 8 years different States cities and even small towns for his job . I needed a ride one day and came across this lady Shannon ask her to pick me up at 12:30 because I had an appointment at 1:00 it was a 20 minute drive . She had plenty of time to get me to my appointment at the capital but decided she need to pick up another Rider on the way which was 10 Mi out of the way . Needless to say I was late for my very important appointment at the Capitol building there in Frankfort Kentucky. I have to visit Frankfort because of my job and will always rely on Uber or Lyft to give me to where I need to be because this lady Shannon is not dependable . If you have a job and you are depending on Happy Trails Shannon which is never happy to get you to where you're going you might as well just chalk it up and call you a Uber or Lyft that's not very professional either but Uber and Lyft is way more professional than happy trails Shannon . After speaking to a few coworkers at the meeting I had to go to that day I have heard so many bad things so the next part is just hearsay but it came from more than one person that are locals to Frankfort . She is continuously late picking you up and continuously late getting you to your job appointment whether it be a doctor or just dropping someone off at a friend's house she is always late . If she makes a mistake like falls asleep and forgets about you she blames it on other people that work for her . She's supposed to be a nice Christian lady but there's nothing Christian about the gossip that I heard in the backseat of her vehicle on the way to my appointment to the Capitol . I'm just trying to save people from being late to their very important appointments since Frankfort is the state capital of Kentucky and people are coming in and out of Frankfurt for various reasons . Shannon you could be much better at your job if you wasn't trying to do 15 other things and the gossip and the Christian thing that we had a conversation about in your vehicle during my ride does not sit right with me I let you know that the day of and I'm letting you know that now . Happy Trails needs to be a gossip columnist because because that's all you are about . Hope this saves professional ppl so you don't ever have to be humiliated in front of your employees like I was when I showed up late to my meeting because Shannon thought she was saving a few dollars in gas by picking up the other rider b4 dropping me off. This is not only dangerous to riders but to ppl she picks up with other riders already in her vehicle.

One prime example of this Civil War Kentucky History is to read my recently published Ky. Civil War historical fiction novel about the Ky. Battle of Mill Springs entitled, "The Parsons' Sons" (ISBN 978-1-946250-38-4). It has been approved and accepted into the Research Collections of The Filson Historical Society as well as The Battle of Mill Springs National Battlefield Center and Cemetery in Nancy, Kentucky.

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.

Regularly scheduled public tours of the mansion are available Tuesdays and Thursday from 9 to 11am we were there on a Friday so was not able to go inside. The mansion officially opened with a large party on January 20, 1914, 96 yrs ago tomorrow. The mansion has 25 rooms, including 2 dining rooms, a grand ballroom, a commercial size kitchen, sunroom, and private living quarters for the Governor and his family The mansion is 80 ft wide and 200 ft long. Made of brick covered by limestone to match the Capitol building. Put on National Register of Historical Places in 1972. The first Governor's mansion is located downtown and built in 1798. There is a formal garden with fountain, very BEAUTIFUL in the spring and summer...definitely going back then to check it out. The current mansion took 2 yrs to build and cost $75,000 to build. Governor James B McCreary and his family were the first to live there. He was the 27th and 37th Governor of Kentucky. It is a tradition when the new Governor and family moves in to the home, they are greeted with a country ham, biscuits and a white cake...thus is a traditional meal for decades. The mansion was inspired with French influences by architect CC and EA Weber. Inspired the French chateaux, Petit Trianon, located at Versailles created by King Louis XV for his mistress, and later given to Queen Marie Antoinette by King Louis XVI.

We had a brief tutorial, and there was even complementary (just on the rails) umbrellas because the sun was beating down. The distance between the person in front of us and behind us was perfect. The cars are self-propelled so you don't really have the pedal much. It was really nice and relaxing. I took some really great photos of the scenery. Two things I recommend; bug spray & a hat.
