A drive straight across the Bluegrass State takes about eight hours, but that beeline would bypass all the worthwhile distractions between Paw Paw in Pike County, and the Kentucky Bend of the Mississippi River in Fulton County. There are hidden treasures in Kentucky: like Abraham Lincoln’s boyhood home resting inside a Greek-style temple and the buffalo roaming the modern-day prairies of Land Between the Lakes. From rip-roaring barn dances in Rabbit Hash to the silent reverence of the monks at the Abbey of Gethsemani, the Commonwealth is chock-full of timeless landmarks. 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.
