Interesting. I live about 15 miles from Boonesborough. It’s not a town, there’s only a state park there with a fort replica. My cousin lived there when his dad worked the locks there on the Kentucky River. Small world.
We had a wonderful family vacation a few years ago south of Lexington. We stayed in a house on Lake Herrington, rented a pontoon boat, took a riverboat cruise on the Kentucky River, paid a visit to Fort Harrod, and visited Shakertown. Unfortunately, the weather was unusually cool for July so we didn’t spend much on the lake. Instead, we roasted marshmallows around a campfire. A good time was had by all.
