Highway near NashvilleWhere's the Green?
Bowling Green has several tourist attractions including the National Corvette Museum, and Aviation Heritage Park. But the main reason that I picked Bowling Green was that I thought I could do a day trip to Mammoth Cave from there.
When we had car trouble, that meant I had to cut short the Bowling Green visit, so I did not visit any Bowling Green attractions at all.
