Besides the University of Kentucky and all those wonderful horse farms around this Bluegrass town, there are also some historical houses located there.
The HUNT-MORGAN home is that of Confederate general John Hunt Morgan, whose raids in the state and north of the Ohio River are very well known.
MARY TODD LINCOLN home, where Abraham Lincoln's wife grew up before coming to Springfield to live with her sister. Of interest, her family owned slaves.
ASHLAND-- the home of 19th century statesman Henry Clay.
PLUS, there is that great ride along US-421 from Richmond, through Lexington, capital Frankfort, and on to historic Madison, Indiana, on the Ohio River. This is one of the best drives I've ever made.

RoadDog's RoadLog Blog: Being my travels down those great two lane highways of this nation as well as news I learn about them from media sources. Since I'm also very interested in historic preservation, there will be a lot of that as well.
The Shamrock Court Motel in Sullivan, Missouri. It can be yours for $125,000. Lots of possibilities. Actually, now you're too late. Missouri's Roamin' Rich bought it.
