First off, this is one of the RARE places where you can visit a home once owned by a President for FREE. If you love visiting places associated with Presidents, you should go here for that reason alone. AND, with an admission fee of FREE, it is a good value.
BUT, there are just a bunch of cool things to see here in a small space!
Many cool small local items are displayed. I enjoyed seeing items from a store that used to be in town.
There is an amazing corner cabinet made by Squire Boone on display too- and it is signed by him on the inside!
AND, they have a small display on James Best from the Dukes of Hazzard (and Corydon) too.
Oddly, I think a lot of people have James Best stories. I remember seeing him at the Everly Brothers Homecoming years ago in Muhlenberg County Kentucky.
Well, the guy running the Log Cabin site knew Mr. Best from his Corydon days. He was friendly enough with him that he got to go out to California and see some taping of the Dukes of Hazzard!If you don't want to see relics and hear stories relating to President Harrison, Squire Boone, and Roscoe P. Coltrane, there is something wrong with you.
Obviously, the William Henry Harrison Log Cabin gets my highest recommendation.
