<p>Dudleys Chapel is a historic Methodist church located at Sudlersville, Queen Annes County, Maryland. It was built in 1783 and is a simple brick structure with a moderately pitched gable roof. A coat of stucco was added in 1883, covering all of the original brickwork. The chapel has a prominent place in the early history of the Methodist Church in Maryland. It is one of the earliest surviving Methodist churches in Maryland, and was the first Methodist church built in Queen Annes County. Many of the prominent early leaders of the Methodist Church are known to have preached both at Dudleys including Francis Asbury, Thomas Coke, Richard Whatcoat, Jesse Lee, and Freeborn Garrettson.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979.</p><br>
<p>Wickland is a historic house in Shelbyville, Kentucky, United States, across from Prospect Avenue on Kentucky Street. It is named for the Wickland mansion in Bardstown, Kentucky, and is part of the Shelbyville Multiple Resource Area.</p><br>
<p>Wickland was built in 1901 by Charles Cotesworth Marshall, who was a circuit judge and Shelby County attorney. His wife Elizabeth Wickliffe Marshall&#39;s ancestral home was the Bardstown Wickland; Elizabeth was the daughter of the former governor of Louisiana, Robert C. Wickliffe. Marshall was born in Mississippi on May 26, 1868, to former Confederate soldier Charles C. Marshall and Mattie (Hill) Marshall, but was reared in Shelbyville by his aunt due to his parents dying when he was one year old, and was taught at various schools, both public and private, around Shelbyville. His aunt was the wife of the Shelby County judge. Other owners of the property were Arthur Johnston, Hubert Johnston, B.A. Thomas, G. William Johnston, and Kenneth Harris.</p><br>
<p>Wickland is considered a superb example of Classical Revival architecture. It is a two-story brick structure, with a pyramidal roof, right-side semi-octagonal projecting bay, and a central passage plan. The total property is less than a half-acre.</p><br>
<p>Wickland was one of several buildings studied since 1979 for the Shelbyville Multiple Resource Area. The Kentucky Heritage Council funded the effort of the Shelby County Historical Society to add many Shelbyville structures to the National Register, including Wickland. The original Wickland was placed on the Register a decade beforehand.</p><br>
<p>St. Andrews Episcopal Chapel is an historic Episcopal chapel located at Sudlersville, Queen Annes County, Maryland, built as a chapel of ease for St. Luke&#39;s Church in Church Hill. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984.</p><br>
<p>A small Carpenter Gothic-style board-and-batten structure constructed in 1878, it divided into two principal parts: a large rectangular sanctuary three bays long and two bays wide with a steeply pitched gable roof, and a slightly smaller but similarly proportioned chancel, two bays long and one bay wide. The entry features a wide Gothic-arched double doorway with a steep gable roof. The sanctuary has a pair of stained glass lancet windows on the first floor, and a circular stained glass rose window in the upper gable.</p><br>

<p>The Cobblestone Path is a historic pathway along the east side of the Bardstown Historic District of Bardstown, Kentucky, passing by eight acres of land. Once longer, due to various construction it now remains between Flaget Avenue and Broadway, directly across from the Bardstown Civil War Museum. Because it was always considered part of the city&#39;s street system, the Cobblestone Path is owned by the City of Bardstown, even though it now serves only pedestrian traffic.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Cobblestone Path was built in 1785. It was briefly part of the Louisville and Nashville Turnpike as well. With the building of the turnpikes to Bloomfield, Kentucky and Springfield, Kentucky, the pathway was reduced to walkers and equestrians.</p><br>
<p>The Cobblestone Path lies on top of a bluff created by Stewarts Creek Towne Branchs deep canyon, the other side of which rests My Old Kentucky Home State Park. The remaining path is 350 ft long and varies in width from twenty-eight feet to twelve feet. The dolomite limestone used to cobble the pathway are not uniformly shaped, and range from six to ten inches (254 mm) thick. Natural outcroppings of limestone and even a limestone boulder lie beside the path, some of which may serve as a bench. The top portion of the path was long a popular picnic spot from the 1870s to 1900, and gained the name Lovers Leap. Less than thirty feet below the Leap is a small dry cave almost impossible to gain access to.</p><br>
<p>Erosion has always been a threat to the path, with few cobblestones remaining at the bottom of the path. During the 1920s and 1930s, Mrs. Ernest Fulton planted many flowers along the path, and did her best to fight the erosion. As a result, the path has bush honeysuckle, evergreens, jonquils, and a spruce tree. With this and the natural undergrowth, vines, and native hardwoods, the path is essentially a tunnel.</p><br>
<p>On November 16, 1989, the Cobblestone Path was placed on the National Register of Historic Places, due to its importance in the history of transportation to Kentucky.</p><br>

<p>The Battery Park Hotel is the name given to two hotels in Asheville, North Carolina. The one standing today is 14 stories tall and was built in 1924 by Edwin W. Grove, during a time of increased tourism in the North Carolina mountains. It replaced a Queen Anne style hotel which stood 125 feet tall. The name came from the fact that Confederate forces used the site for batteries of artillery.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The original Battery Park Hotel was built in 1886 by Colonel Frank Coxe. It was designed by Philadelphia architect Edward Hazlehurst (1853-1915) in "spectacular" Queen Anne style. It was the first hotel in the South with an electric elevator, and one of the first with electric lighting.</p><br>
<p>Once the railroad reached Asheville in 1880, the mountain town attracted twenty passenger trains a day from the nations largest cities, and people found out what a wonderful place the community was to visit. One reason for visiting Asheville was the clean mountain air, which helped problems such as tuberculosis. Fine hotels were built, and Coxes Battery Park Hotel was the best of these. For one thing, its location on Asheville&#39;s tallest hill provided magnificent views.</p><br>
<p>The Rockefeller and Lorillard families were among those who stayed in the Battery Park. Another notable guest was George Vanderbilt, who from his window could see the land that would one day become Biltmore Estate.</p><br>
<p>By 1920, the Asheville Citizen reported the Battery Park had changed management three times. Edwin Wiley Grove bought the Battery Park in 1921. In 1922 he announced that it would remain a resort hotel for winter and summer, while he would add a second year-round hotel nearby. Plans changed later, however. People hated to see the old Battery Park Hotel torn down, but Grove, known also for the Grove Park Inn, built a fine hotel in the same location. Despite its architectural value, which Grove acknowledged, the old building was "rapidly outgrowing its period of usefulness". Some sources say it was damaged by a fire before being torn down, but newspapers do not appear to support this. The new hotel would be first-class, for industry, and not a resort.</p><br>
<p>Architect William Lee Stoddart of New York City designed the 220-room Battery Park Hotel that stands today. The modern building was built of reinforced concrete with brick, limestone, and terra cotta, with a Mission Revival roof that offered a dining area. The architectural style was a mix of Neoclassical and "Spanish romanticism".</p><br>
<p>Helen Clevenger, a 19-year-old college student, was found dead in Room 224 on July 17, 1936, having died the night before. She had been shot in the chest, and slashed in the face with a sharp instrument. A hall boy at the hotel, 22-year-old Martin Moore, confessed to the murder, and was executed on December 11 of the same year.</p><br>
<p>On September 4, 1943, a USA Government Official, Clifton Alheit, jumped to his death off the roof of the Battery Park Hotel in an apparent suicide.</p><br>
<p>The hotel closed October 30, 1972 and Billy Shadrick of Housing Projects, Inc. took it over in 1979, keeping the historic exterior with the help of preservation tax credits, and converting the building into apartments for senior citizens. Today it is owned by National Church Residences, and businesses operate on the first floor. It is located in the Downtown Asheville Historic District.</p><br>
<p>The North Salina Street Historic District is a national historic district located on the north side of Syracuse, New York. It encompasses 85 contributing buildings in a section of Syracuse that was home to many German immigrants in the 19th century, and Italian immigrants after the turn of the 20th century. It developed between about 1860 and 1960, and includes examples of Federal, Greek Revival, and Late Victorian style architecture. Notable buildings include Assumption Church  designed by Horatio N. White and Convent , Walier Building , and the Albany Block .</p><br>
<p>It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.</p><br>
<p>The Bodie Island Lifesaving Station, also known as the Bodie Island Coast Guard Station, is located on the Outer Banks of North Carolina at the southern end of Bodie Island, within Cape Hatteras National Seashore. The 10 acre district includes a residence, the lifesaving station, the Coast Guard station, and an observation tower, as well as many utility buildings. The facility was turned over to the National Park Service in 1953, with the establishment of the national seashore. The primary structure, the lifesaving station, was built in 1878 and was converted to a residence when the Coast Guard station was built in 1925. It was moved to its present location in 1955, as it was threatened by shoreline erosion. The Coast Guard station was altered the same year to provide housing and office space for the National Park Service.</p><br>
<p>The Hatteras Weather Bureau Station is a wood-frame building in Hatteras, North Carolina built in 1901 for what was then called the USA Weather Bureau. The then-remote location on the Outer Banks of North Carolina provided data on conditions in the Atlantic Ocean from a fixed location that was farther into the ocean environment than any on the Atlantic coast. The building served as a weather station from 1902 to 1946, when it was converted to living quarters for Weather Bureau personnel. In 1952 the property was turned over to the USA Coast Guard, which used it until 1958, when it was transferred to the National Park Service for use by Cape Hatteras National Seashore. From 1958 to 1976 the building was used as a research station, first by Duke University and later by North Carolina State University for investigations concerning marine invertebrates.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978.</p><br>
<p>The Cape Lookout Coast Guard Station is located on the Core Banks of North Carolina between Cape Lookout and the Cape Lookout Light. The station was built as a lifeboat station beginning in 1916 and comprises a complex of several frame buildings. The chief structure is the Main Station, a neo-colonial building with a central cupola or watchtower. It is surrounded by a galley, or messhall, equipment buildings, cisterns and similar support structures. Two similar stations were built at Hatteras Inlet and Cape Fear, which have not survived. The Cape Lookout station was chiefly responsible for providing rescue services in the Cape Lookout Shoals, which extend ten miles into the Atlantic Ocean and represent a significant hazard to coastwise shipping. The Cape Lookout station operated until 1982, and is now under the care of Cape Lookout National Seashore.</p><br>
<p>The Station&#39;s two original buildings now regularly house students from North Carolina Universities assisting in dolphin and sea turtle research. The buildings are run by a single windmill and two solar panel arrays.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.</p><br>

<p>The Bank of Glen Jean is located in the unincorporated community of Glen Jean, West Virginia. The bank was the financial center of a railroading, mining and financial conglomerate belonging to William McKell, son of Thomas G. and Jean McKell, the town&#39;s namesake. Built in 1909, the bank operated until 1939. It is now a visitor contact center for New River Gorge National Park and Preserve.</p><br>
<p>The bank is built in stone masonry, using local sandstone found above the Sewell coal seam. Exterior walls are 28 inches thick. The floors and roof are of steel construction. A panel above the door reads "Bank 1909." A 1917 addition constructed for McKell&#39;s coal and railroad operations uses wood floors and roof. The sign above its entrance states "McKell."</p><br>
<p>The Thompson Summer House is a house in Minnetonka Beach, Minnesota, United States, listed on the National Register of Historic Places. It is located on Hennepin County Road 15, across from Lafayette Bay on Lake Minnetonka.</p><br>
<p>The house was built in 1887 for Charles Telford Thompson, an attorney and civil leader, and his wife. It was listed on the National Register as a typical example of the types of Queen Anne summer homes that middle and upper-class Minneapolis residents owned on Lake Minnetonka during the end of the 19th century. An identical house owned by Samuel A. Harris, Charles Thompson&#39;s brother-in-law, once sat adjacent to the Thompson Summer House, but was demolished in 1968.</p><br>
<p>In the 1990s, the house faced deterioration from erosion and rot. In an effort to stabilize the foundation and rebuild the wraparound porch while preserving the character of the house, the owners undertook a major restoration project. The project, conducted by Wes Foss, the husband of Thompson&#39;s great-great-granddaughter Debbie, was featured on a three-part episode of Hometime on PBS and won an award from the Preservation Alliance of Minnesota in 2005.</p><br>
<p>The house is currently one of the oldest extant summer houses on Lake Minnetonka and is in excellent condition. It is still used strictly as a summer home (as it has always been) and frequently hosts family gatherings.</p><br>
<p>Maple Lawn, also known as the Walter Vail House, is a residence in Balmville, New York, United States built in the Gothic Revival architectural style&#39;s Picturesque mode. It was designed by Frederick Clarke Withers, following principles of his late mentor, Andrew Jackson Downing, and commissioned by a wealthy local family in 1859.</p><br>
<p>Since then it has undergone very few revisions, making it a well-preserved exemplar of the style, Withers houses and Downings aesthetics. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1984.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The house sits on a 1 acre lot on Downing Avenue in Balmville, an affluent unincorporated residential enclave in the Town of Newburgh just north of the city of Newburgh. The Hudson River is a short distance to the east down a steady slope. It is surrounded by mature trees of species including beech, black walnut and catalpa.</p><br>
<p>It is a two-and-a-half-story red brick building on a sandstone foundation with steeply-pitched gabled roof pierced by three brick chimneys. The south-facing front facade features a projecting central pavilion with white quatrefoil-pireced vergeboards at the overhanging eave. Dormer windows on either side are similarly appointed, as is the curving balustrade on an upper balcony. To the west of the doubled-doored entrance is a porch supported by chamfered posts and curved braces; to the east is a bay window.</p><br>
<p>The east side has a similar porch but with a latticework frieze and arrows pointing to the entrance. Another vergeboard decorates the rear (north) gable and a two-story kitchen wing on the north. A garage wing has also been added there. Two more of the signature vergeboards decorate the rooflines of projecting gables on the west face.</p><br>
<p>Inside, the floor plan is asymmetrical. Many of the original moldings and other wood trim remain, especially the Gothic fluted surrounds on the bay windows, which emerge from nearby pilasters. The fireplaces have their original marble mantels.</p><br>
<p>A mansard roofed privy of brick and brownstone is located behind the house. It is included in the listing as a contributing resource. A carriage house to the northwest originally built with the main house has been extensively modified and converted into a residence. It is non-contributing.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Maple Lawn was commissioned by a resident named Walter Vail in the late 1850s. Little is known about him, but it was a time when those who had become wealthy from river trade and growing industrialization in Newburgh were building grand houses with Hudson River views for themselves either in the northeastern portion of the city or in relatively undeveloped Balmville just to the north. The house took its name from the abundant maples planted around it, which were later destroyed in a hurricane.</p><br>
<p>It has seen almost no alterations since. The growth of Balmville in the later 19th century led to the carriage house being split off onto its own lot and separately developed as a residence in 1903. In the 1950s, the corbelling on the chimneys was removed and the garage wing added. At the time of its listing on the Register, the front balcony was described as having also been removed around the same time, but it has been restored since then.</p><br>
<h2>Aesthetics</h2><br>
<p>Downing had advocated the Picturesque as the ideal mode for his favored type of house, which integrated more seamlessly with its natural surroundings than houses built in the Greek Revival and Federal styles popular earlier in the century. After his death, Withers, who had worked for him following his emigration from his native England, was seen along with occasional collaborator Calvert Vaux as Downing&#39;s heir and successor.</p><br>
<p>Maple Lawn, designed in the "villa" form Downing thought best as a country home for a man of "means", expresses his theories with its careful placement amidst the trees and view of the river. The bay windows and porches on the house further connect the house to the landscape. Most notably, the dining room faces east so that the evening meal could be taken in the shade, while the parlor is across the house for diners to take advantage of the light afterwards, as per Downing&#39;s guidelines.</p><br>
<p>The house also demonstrative of Withers&#39; early, pre-Civil War work, when he was more conservative than Vaux. It uses more severe massing than he would later on, uses monochromatic materials and keeps its ornamentation to the minimum of the quatrefoiled vergeboard motif. He balances regular fenestration with the asymmetry of the house plan and the steep pitch of the gables to provide the overall Picturesque effect.</p><br>
<p>The Thomas P. Hardy House is a Frank Lloyd Wright-designed Prairie School home in Racine, Wisconsin, USA, that was built in 1905. The street-facing side of the house is mostly stucco, giving the residents privacy from the nearby sidewalk and street, but the expansive windows on the other side open up to Lake Michigan.</p><br>
<p>Perched on a bluff overlooking Lake Michigan, the house is built vertically up and down the hillside, and has a partial basement.</p><br>
<p>From 2013 to 2015, a renovation was completed on the home, including a color change back to its original terra cotta.</p><br>
<p>This house demonstrates Wrights ability to fit a design to a site. Most of the homes on this street are quite close to the sidewalk, since the hill drops away from the street and towards the lake very quickly, but Wrights entryway for the Hardy house is literally at the line of the sidewalk.</p><br>
<p>The house is considered by some to be one of Wright&#39;s classics. Henry Russell Hitchcock writes "Other dramatic possibilities of steep sites above water for these winged... houses are to be found in the Johnson house at Delavan Lake and the Scudder project for one of the islands at the Sault.... But the masterpiece is the Hardy house of 1905 at Racine." Kenneth Frampton states "The Hardy House.. is the purest formulation that Wright was ever to make of a symmetrical, frontalized house."</p><br>

<p>The Hagel Family Farm is a farm in Rogers, Minnesota , United States. The farm consists of a 120 acre parcel with several farm buildings, farm fields, woodlands, and wetlands. The farmstead has been in the Hagel family for over 150 years. Its current owner, John Hagel, is a co-founder of the association. John Hagel worked to nominate the farm to the National Register of Historic Places to preserve it as a complete, original farmstead. Susan Roth of Minnesotas State Historic Preservation Office commented, "The Hagel farm has extremely high physical integrity. Im feeling very confident that the board will look approvingly." The farm was listed on the National Register in December 2006.</p><br>
<p>All but one of the original buildings remain intact. The buildings include the farmhouse, a timber-framed mortise and tenon barn with an attached milk house, and a two-story saltbox style granary. The bricks for the farmhouse were believed to have been manufactured in nearby Dayton, Minnesota. The farm had no electricity until 1948; before that, they had kerosene lighting. There was also no refrigeration in the early days. Butter and milk were kept in a pit in the yard until they later acquired an icebox.</p><br>
<p>The farm was originally settled by John Hagels great-great-grandparents, Peter and Helena Hagel, who immigrated from Germany and settled 160 acre on January 20, 1858. Around 1890, Peter and Helena divided the farm among their two sons, Fred and Paul. Fred and Gertrude Hagel, Johns great-grandparents, built the 117-year-old farmhouse, and his grandfather Arnold and his father Leroy grew up on the farm. Arnold Hagel died in 1951, and his wife Anna Hagel stayed on the farm until she died in 1987. Anna Hagel rented the fields out to other farmers and sold the animals and farm implements. Without the wear and tear of daily farming operations and the need to modernize farming practices, the farm buildings were virtually unchanged since the 1950s. John Hagel could have sold the farmland for suburban development, but was more interested in preserving the farm as a historic site.</p><br>

<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The house was commissioned by newlyweds Seamour and Gerte Shavin in 1949 and the home at 334 North Crest Road on Missionary Ridge in Chattanooga was completed in 1952. Seamour was a building materials salesman. It is the only building designed by Frank Lloyd Wright in Tennessee. Both the exterior and interior of the house use primarily crab orchard stone and treated Louisiana cypress wood. The stonework is reminiscent of Fallingwater: laid horizontally, stones are allowed to protrude (or "stick out") at points from the line of the wall, resembling stone ledges.</p><br>
<p>The house is sited on top of a hill to take advantage of the view of the Tennessee River and Lookout Mountain. The home features a kitchen, den and bathroom at the top of the hill, and sleeping areas down some stairs on the lower, or eastern, side of the hill. The den/living room is the focal point of the home, featuring a large stone fireplace. Mitered glass in one corner and wood framed corner glass doors that open outward allow the eyes to wander both outside the home and around the interior.</p><br>
<p>There are many classic Wright details, such as a stunning example of a 12×16×16 cantilevered roof over the carport that is similar to the Goetsch–Winckler House. There are double clerestory windows with cut-wood light screens. The home has a hidden entrance. The Shavins house contains built-ins and furniture designed by Wright, resulting in a unified design scheme.</p><br>
<p>Wright, who died in 1959, never visited the site of the Shavins house during or after its construction. Marvin Bachman, an apprentice of Wright, supervised the construction. In 1951, Bachman was killed in an automobile accident. During the summer of 1952, Bachmans sister, Gloria, and her husband, Dr. Abraham Wilson visited Seamour and Gerte Shavin and helped them move into their new home. On the drive back to New Jersey, the couple decided to commission Wright to design the Bachman–Wilson House.</p><br>

<p>Nelson Homestead, also known as the Elisha Riggin House, is a historic home located at Crisfield, Somerset County, Maryland. It is a "telescope" style frame house built circa 1836 by Crisfield shipbuilder Elisha Riggin on a 145.5 acre tract of land overlooking Johnson Creek. The Riggins are one of the Colonial families of Maryland who immigrated to the Chesapeake Colonies from Ireland in the mid 17th century and settled along Pocomoke Sound.</p><br>
<p>The three-part wood-frame structure rests on a brick pier foundation and is covered by a series of gable roofs. The main part of the house is a three bay structure with a central door. It is attached to a two bay two story structure with central door and a lower roofline, with a two-bay one-story kitchen wing attached. A large brick chimney rises from the east end of the main block and a smaller stack protrudes through the east end of the kitchen wing. About 95% of the original interior woodwork is intact along with some early paint schemes. The finely crafted house is sheathed in cypress and cedar weatherboards and features late Federal style mantels, doors, chair rails and cupboards. The main room of the house has raised panel wainscoting and over-mantel paneling that survives with an early layer of tiger-maple graining. Also on the property is a small frame outbuilding with a gable roof and a family cemetery.</p><br>
<p>Several other "telescope" style houses remain on the lower Eastern Shore of Maryland, but this house stands out as one of the least altered examples with highly unusual woodwork. Unlike most telescope style houses on the Eastern Shore all three blocks of this one appear to have been built at the same time. Due to construction features, mature cut nails, and some Greek Revival influence in part of the woodwork, it is thought the house was built as late as 1836 with paneling traditions and Federal mantel designs that were common in earlier decades. The Elisha Riggin House was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985. In 2014 it was included in the top 10 most important endangered historic properties by Preservation Maryland / Endangered Maryland</p><br>
<p>William Nelson and his wife Ellen Riggin, a relative of Elisha Riggin, purchased the property in 1843 and it remained in the Nelson family until the 1966. The current owner, Jennifer Smith of the band Naked Blue is currently working on rescuing the building and re-purposing it as an artist retreat, music education and heritage tourism site.</p><br>

<p>The Bardstown station, also known as Old L & N Station, is a historic railroad station on the National Register of Historic Places in the northernmost section of the Bardstown Historic District of Bardstown, Kentucky. Long owned by the Louisville and Nashville Railroad , it is currently used as the station for the My Old Kentucky Dinner Train, owned by the R.J. Corman Railroad Group.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The impetus for a railroad departing south from Louisville was begun in 1832 by the citizens of Bardstown. However, after a $300,000 bond issue was defeated by other residents of Bardstown, the main line of the Louisville and Nashville instead bypassed Bardstown.</p><br>
<p>The station was built in 1860 by the Bardstown and Louisville Railroad, which the Louisville and Nashville Railroad purchased the assets of in 1864. It was the only railroad station in Kentucky built of dry-stone. However, the 18 mi line to connect the station to the L&Ns main line wasnt until March 1860.</p><br>
<p>On February 1, 1888, the line was lengthened to connect Bardstown to Springfield, Kentucky.</p><br>
<p>In 1953 service was discontinued to the station by the L&N, and the passenger section of the station demolished. In 1987 CSX, who had purchased the L&N in the meanwhile, sold the old Bardstown line, including the station, to the R.J. Corman Railroad Group, which has since used it as a shortline railroad.</p><br>
<h2>Structure</h2><br>
<p>The total land area of the station is 30 ft by 75 ft. Both the structure, exterior, and foundation are made of dry-stone. There are two rooms in the structure. The roof is made of shallow gable. The original passenger section was destroyed in 1953, but a waiting room addition was added to the station in 1992.</p><br>
<h2>Today</h2><br>
<p>Currently the station is part of the complex for the My Old Kentucky Dinner Train, named for the My Old Kentucky Home State Park, where Stephen Foster allegedly got the inspiration for his song My Old Kentucky Home. Customers ride on vintage 1940s-era dining cars pulled by diesel-electric FP7A locomotives for a 150-minute, 37-mile ride to Limestone Springs and back, while engaging in lunch or dinner. Sights to be seen during the ride include Bernheim Forest and the Jim Beam distillery.</p><br>
