I find it somewhat strange that we’ve now visited all 48 contiguous states, but we haven’t seen all of Kentucky yet.  We’ve been many places in our state: Mammoth Cave, Cumberland Falls, Louisville, Bowling Green, Paducah, Red River Gorge, etc.  But there are still places we’ve missed.  

This past weekend, we went to one of those places.  We visited Kingdom Come State Park and The Big South Fork Railway.  Along the way, we stayed overnight at Benham Schoolhouse Inn.  Kingdom Come State Park is named after the popular Civil War novel, “The Little Shepherd of Kingdom Come,” by Kentucky author John Fox Jr.

The park is beautiful, the railway featured a coal mine tour that was very interesting and the Inn was comfortable and nicely furnished with friendly, helpful personnel.
