Hi, I am Jim, I love Kentucky, and traveling in and around Kentucky! I also love the entire country, and all of the beautiful and strange places here and there! This blog covers the overlooked, forgotten, and underrated places, people, and moments in history in America, with a focus on Kentucky! It will cover great tourists stops, books about people and history, and include photos and postcard scans.

Postcard: The Old Kentucky Home, Bardstown
"While visiting here, Stephen Collins Foster, author of many popular negro melodies, wrote "My Old Kentucky Home." The house was the former home of Judge Rowan. It is now a state shrine."
A "grandma" sent this to a granddaughter in Independence, MO. on May 11th, 1939! I brought it back to Kentucky in June of 2010.
