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: Paradise, Kentucky
"Here is the world's largest mobile land machine, a huge stripping shovel built by Bucyrus-Erie Company, South Milwaukee, Wisconsin for a local mine near Paradise, Kentucky."
It is VERY hard to find anything relating to the old town of Paradise now. I was very happy to find this great postcard. Check out the two small people in the lower right corner!
I really love the fact that the Peabody Coal Company name is shown, and the town of Paradise is mentioned on the back.
