More Info
| Marion, Kentucky: The Ben, E. Clement Mineral Museum contains the World's Largest Collection of Fluorite (Fluorspar). Mr. Ben E. Clement assembled over 50,000 pieces of fluorspar from 1920 to 1980, the year of his death. From 1900 to 1953, before it became too costly to mine, this area was the world's largest producer of fluorspar (at present, China produces 99% of the world market in fluorspar). All tours are guide tours and the staff's motto is, "If you don't have a quality and educational time here, then it's our fault and you get your money back". |

| Eighteen life-size statues
-- dubbed "the strange procession that never moves" -- are grouped around the
tomb of Colonel Henry Wooldridge, the Mayfield, KY horse trader who built them and
died in 1899. A number of Wooldridge men, women and his favorite dogs, Tow Head and Bob,
stare with stony resolve at the eastern plots of the United Daughters of the Confederacy
Cemetery. The Colonel is the only person actually entombed there. A hurricane fence foils
casual vandalism and most photo opportunities. |

In Mt. Hope Cemetery, Hiawatha, KS, the grave memorial of John M. Davis includes ten life-size, Italian marble statues that depict Davis and his wife at various stages of their lives. The eleventh statue is made of granite, because Davis had exhausted his life savings on the monument.
| "The Vacant Chair" is where his wife would have been seated, had she not died seventeen years before Davis's death (at age 92 in 1947). The elaborate memorial has attracted visitors for over half a century. In fact, Davis enjoyed spending his last lonely years hanging around the work in progress and explaining it to visitors. |
| The last statue of Mrs. Davis, as an angel kneeling on Mr. Davis's tomb, has been mysteriously decapitated. Victim of the local Halloween Frolic? Teens at the Hiawatha Pizza Hut had some leads. "That head was throwed in a pond is what we heard." |
Pineville: Above the town of Pineville, KY , on route 25E, there are several very large boulders that are "chained together" to keep them from crashing down on the town and destroying it. You must drive there from Pine Mountain State Park and then hike about one mile to see it. It is worth the walk. It defies all sense of logic, why somebody would haul this very heavy chain up a mountain to foster such a myth. [Bob Smith,11/16/98] The myth was started in 1933 by the town Kiwanis, who attached the chain -- 3,000
pounds, 101 feet long. |

| Trappist - Bourbon Fudge Monks: The
Gethsemani Monastery in Trappist, KY (near Loretto), is a great place to see how an order of monks lives
in modern-day America. It's really off the beaten path, but definitely worth it. There is
a small visitor center where you can view photos of the Dalai Lama's visit to the
monastery. You can actually observe the monks doing one of their many daily prayer
sessions in the chapel. They make fabulous cheese, fruitcake, and bourbon fudge in order
to support themselves. You can buy it there or at a few of the small convenience stores
around town. The food is so good that at the holidays they had to pull the plug on their
fax machine and stop taking orders. They do not employ any outside help to make the stuff,
and there are only around a hundred or so of them. Combine a visit to this monastery with
a trip to the nearby Maker's Mark distillery |

| Blackey,KY - Couple work hard to preserve local
history: You can't buy much at the old C.B. Caudill Store these
days. A can of kidney beans. A tin of Prince Albert tobacco. Perhaps a hard to find pipe
fitting. What you can get at Joe & Gaynell Begley's place in Letcher County isn't for
sale. It's priceless. The walls and shelves of the gray corrugated building that the
Begley's also call home are so full of artifacts, there's no room for Jello or Pop tarts
or corn flakes. There are hog nose-ringers, barbed-wire stretchers, miners' pickaxes,
everything given to them over the span of a lifetime. You can sit on the porch and visit
with the Begley's. Truly a unique place to visit, you'll step back in time. directions:
take 64 east off of 75 Lexington, then take the Mountain Parkway east to the Campton Exit
(highway 15) to Isom take highway 7 to Blackey about 7 miles, store on the right just past
big blue bridge |
