The LAST ISSUE of the Kentucky Explorer!!!

I wanted to mention that the last issue of the Kentucky Explorer just went out.  I have subscribed for years, and I hope I am not being too dramatic when I say that getting the last issue made me very sad.

Not too long ago, they published an email I sent them about my visit, with my dad, to the Kentucky Bend.  My dad, who also loved the Kentucky Explorer, was very happy to see the pictures I took of him at the Bend published in the great magazine!  I was glad my dad got to see that before he passed away.

This has been such a great, scrappy magazine.  It is newsprint, but they have always packed a TON into each issue.  At $2.50 an issue cover price, it has always been a bargain.

I hope something else comes along to replace it.  I have no doubt that the publisher never got rich from it- they were making it out of love for Kentucky history and Kentuckians.

They mentioned in this last issue that Kentucky Monthly will be honoring remaining subscriptions for Kentucky Explorer subscribers.
