Frankfort

by traveldave

Frankfort is the capital of Kentucky, as well as the county seat of Franklin County. It is a pleasant small city situated in a river valley along the Kentucky River in the central part of the state. With a population of about 28,000, it is the fifth-smallest state capital in the country. Frankfort has been named one of the most livable small cities in the United States, and one of the most picturesque state capitals in the country.Pioneers began settling in the area that would one day become Frankfort in 1780. The city probably got its name when a settler, named Stephen Frank, was killed on a ford of the Kentucky River during a skirmish with the local American Indians in 1780. The small settlement was called Frank's Ford, which was eventually shortened to Frankfort. The town of Frankfort was incorporated by the Virginia legislature in 1786. (At that time, what is now Kentucky was part of...

Louisville

by traveldave

Louisville was founded in 1778 by George Rogers Clark. His original settlement was on Corn Island in the Ohio River, but it eventually became centered on the south bank of the river. The settlement grew up around the Falls of the Ohio, which presented a barrier to river traffic. River boats had to be unloaded before being moved downriver over the falls. In 1780, the settlement was chartered as a city. At the same time, it was named Louisville, after King Louis XVI of France, since his troops were aiding the Americans in their war for independence against the British. Before the American Civil War, Louisville was one of the largest centers for the slave trade, and much of the city's initial growth was due to that trade. During the American Civil War, Louisville served as a base for Union soldiers, although the loyalties of Kentuckians were divided between the Union and the Confederacy....

KENTUCKY'S STONE WALLS

by LoriPori

If you ever get the chance, you must travel along Highway 25. Starting just north of Lexington, ending just before Cincinnati and running parralel to I 75, it is one of Kentucky's most picturesque highways, with scores of horse ranches and row upon row of STONE WALLS. It never ceases to amaze me how long it must have taken folks to build these walls/ fences. I'm sure way back when, folks had a lot of time on their hands to build them. It's like putting together a piece of a rock puzzle. Amazing!

Remember Cell Phone service is Not the Best here!!

by Gra8ful

If your going to be traveling through Kentucky the Mountains sure mess up your calls sometimes it's not even the Mountains. So if you have to make an important call remember you might not can call out if you do you might still get cut off. Most all of eastern Ky is served by a local Cellular provider, Appalachian Cellular and Cingular. To my knowledge, T-Mobile has nothing local in the area. You will be roaming on another company's stuff. Cingular does not have nearly the coverage as Appalachian either. Everything :-)

The Lincoln Connection to Kentucky

by deecat

Abraham Lincoln was America's 16th President; what did he have to do with the state of Kentucky? Well, he was born in a log cabin on his father's homestead near Hodgenville, Kentucky.He lived in Kentucky for seven years before moving to Indiana and later to Illinois.The Abraham Lincoln Birthplace National Historic Site is located near Hodgenville, Kentucky. The one-room cabin in which Abraham Lincoln was born is now enclosed in a memorial building of granite and marble to keep it protected from the elements. You climb up many stairs, go through huge columns (similar to the Lincoln Memorial in Washington DC) and then in a door to see this modest cabin. An audiovisual show is presented in the visitors center; there are also exhibits related to Lincoln's life.The Lincoln family moved away from this house when Abe Lincoln was only two-and-a-half years old. He spent his next six years in a...

The American Quilters Society

by deecat

Please CLICK PHOTO to see entire brochureThe reason they call Paducah, Ky "Quilt City, U.S.A." is because for four days in April the population of Paducah more than doubles as nearly 40,00 people from all over the world come to town for the Annual American Quilter's Society Quilt Show and Contest. There are 400 quilts on display at the Executive Inn Convention Center. The Best of Show award-winning quilts of years past are exhibited at the Museum of the AQS, which is also located in Paducah.All of this started in 1984 when Meredith Schroeder founded the AQS. Its purpose is to support the accomplishments of today's quilters and to create worldwide recognition of quilting as an art form. She realized that there had been no national quilt competition since the World's Fair in 1933! The association started with 1,500 members and has grown to more than 70,00 members worldwide. The first quilt...

Kentucky Dam Visitors Center

by deecat

My parents lived close to Kentucky Dam so I visited it several times and never tired of learning about it.The Visitors Center road entrance is just east of Kentucky Dam on the north side of Hwy 62.At the Visitors center, guests can actually view the operation center of the powerplant through a wall of glass on the main floor. If you go down several flights of stairs, you can view the caps of the turbines.It's pretty amazing to learn that the power to run the generators at this hydroelectric dam is provided by the force of water spinning huge turbine blades connected to the generators.In addition electricity is produced to light people's homes and businesses. To generate electricity, water enters the dam through the penstock (pipe) which leads to the power house structure. The force of the moving water turns the blades of the turbine, and its shaft is connected to the generator that...

Significance of Roses at Kentucky Derby

by deecat

As a lover of roses, I was intrigued by all the information I learned at the Derby Museum.Each year exactly 554 red roses are sewn into a green satin backing with a seal of the commonwealth of Kentucky on one end and the twin spires and number of the running on the other end. It's also adorned with a "Crown" of roses, ribbon, and green fern. The "crown" is a single rose that points upward in the center of the garland to symbolize the struggle and the heart that it takes to reach the winner's circle. Also, each year, the governor gives the winning jockey a bouquet of 60 long-stemmed red roses wrapped in 10 yards of ribbon. The Kroger Company (grocery chain) has been the official florist of the Kentucky Derby since 1987, and they construct the garland in a local store for the public to view on Derby Eve.Crowds of spectators watch its construction. That's how important everything to do with...

Jefferson Davis State Historic Site, Kentucky

by deecat

Forgive the looks of the photo; it is from an old slide.Jefferson Davis State Historical Site , Fairview, Kentucky, is a memorial in the form of an Obelisk made of stone. You who know me, know that I love Obelisks, and this one is the world's largest concrete obelisk. Completed in 1924, this 351 foot obelisk rests on a foundation of solid Kentucky limestone; its walls are seven feet thick at the base, tapering to two feet thick at the point. The monument marks the birthplace of Jefferson Davis who served as president of the Confederate States of America during the Civil War.There's also a replica of the log cabin in which Davis was born.The Monument has undergone major renovation and reopened in May 2004. Since I was there, a new Visitor Center has opened which gives the history of Davis before the Civil War and all about the construction of the Monument. The center has a gift shop that...
