The directions from the Roadtrippers app will not take you to the warehouse!
We have stopped at Barton’s twice. Both times we just missed the tour. However, you can do a free tasting without the tour. The tasting includes a taste of Barton’s 1792 bourbon, Very Old Barton, and the Bourbon Ball liquor which you can only purchase at the gift shop. Stop for the Bourbon Ball Liquor!
This was an interesting stop. There was a turnabout in private driveway with a sign that said “Parking.” However, since it seemed to be private property, we didn’t explore. If the owners wanted people to feel comfortable walking through the various stone gardens, there would be clearer signs!
We wanted to stop and see this monument because so many of them are being torn down. This monument is off on a side road on what appears to be private property. We couldn’t find anywhere to park or access the monument. We pretty much stopped in the road to take a few photos. With nearby dogs barking and no easy way to get close to the monument, we didn’t get close to the monument.
The ruins of Bell’s Tavern are interesting! If you are interested in old architecture, seeing the way the stones were pieced together to form the tavern was informative and kind of cool. The ruins are behind a fence so you can’t get too close. There is a park adjacent to the ruins where a traveler can stretch her legs and a cafe next door.
Who says only New Orleans is the city with amazing cemeteries? Bowling Green’s Fairview Cemetery definitely rivals NO’s cities of the dead! The confederate monument is located in the cemetery amid the most unique headstones!
We were at a conference and looking for something everyone would eat. We decided on Chicago Pizza and Pasta. The menu selection and service were good. It reminded me of a sports bar that served Italian food. It was a “Ballad Bingo” night. My party may have enjoyed sitting in the bingo section, but we were not offered the option. In fact, none of the staff told us about the game. We figured it out on our own.
If you enjoy history, you will like exploring the Andrew Johnson Historical Site. It actually consists of four different sites: his tailor shop/museum/park headquarters, his pre-presidency home, his post-presidency home, and the national cemetery where he is buried. The tour of his last home is a must! The guide was very knowledgeable and the most of the items in the house were original—linens, clothing, toys, furniture, kitchen utensils, etc. The tour is free, but you must get tickets at the park headquarters!
