Old Vine Bistro in Lexington

ituated near Woodland Park on the edge of downtown Lexington, Old Vine Bistro has been serving up an eclectic blend of delectable New American dishes, along with sultry southern staples and a fabulous wine and bourbon selection. Ideal for date nights, family get-togethers, private parties and off-site catering, the restaurant specializes in high quality fine dining in a cozy, comfortable casual environment.

“We revamped the location and the entire concept a couple of years ago, adding an extensive new wine list and full bar,” shared owner Larry Dean.

“Our chefs are experts at crafting delicious dishes using the finest ingredients and our staff is second to none,” he added, quick to point out that their continued success on the Lexington dining scene is not the result of a one man show.

The menu includes an impressive array of tantalizing fare, including the award-winning Derby Bird Hot Brown, which won “Best Entrée” in the Taste of the Bluegrass awards Fine Dining category, and offers a unique take on this Kentucky classic dish, with a candied pecan waffle, ham, turkey, BFC, bacon, Mornay sauce, shredded cheddar and sliced tomato. The restaurant has actually won that category twice and is also known for its crispy, beer-battered cod, served with tangy corn-jalapeno tartar sauce and herbed fries, as well as its creamy whipped feta dip, which is served with grilled pita points and also features red pepper honey, fresh raspberries and apple slices.

Whipped Feta Dip Ingredients:

• ¼ lbs cream cheese • 1 cup feta crumbles • ¼ cup sour cream

Preparation:

• Cream the cream cheese in a stand mixer until smooth and fluffy.

• Add feta crumbles and continue beating until smooth.

• Add sour cream and beat until smooth.

• Serve with Red Pepper spiked honey or regular honey, fresh raspberries, apple slices and toasted pita points.

“We also offer nightly specials, lending even greater variety to our menu,” Dean added.

In addition, Happy Hour runs Tuesday thru Saturday from 4-6:30 p.m., offering guests half-price drinks by the glass and finger foods, while lunch is available between 11:30 a.m. and 4 p.m. and dinner is served between 4-9 p.m. Tuesday thru Thursday, and 4-10 Friday and Saturday. Reservations are recommended but not required. For more information, visit ovbistro.com or call 859-523-4141.

Wind Chimes Origin & Benefits of

By Ray Hunter

T

here is something comforting about hearing wind chimes among raindrops, distant sirens, and traffic on busy streets. And depending on your outlook on life and spiritual beliefs, wind chimes can be pleasant sounding background music or a tool to bring good luck and positive energy.

Wind chimes have a long, rich history that spans many centuries, cultures, and continents. They are believed to be one of the first musical instruments created by man, and their soothing, hypnotic tones are instantly recognized worldwide.

The wind chime’s expansive lineage dates back to prehistoric times.

Many of these ancient wind chimes were made from stones, shells, wood, bamboo, and even bone. Historians believe primitive cultures would hang wind chimes in the forest to frighten off evil spirits and enemies. Wind chimes were also placed closer to homes and villages to attract benevolent spirits. Farmers would use them to scare off birds and animals from their fields.

Today’s wind chimes are manufactured from various materials, including pottery, wood, metal, plastic, glass, shells, and bamboo. The sound and tone produced by a wind chime are governed by the type of material used to construct it. The loudest and most resonating wind chimes are those made from aluminum.

Wind chimes are also very eco-friendly. Almost no by-products are produced during the manufacturing process, and there is very little waste, as most wind chime manufacturers produce several different designs and sizes. Meticulous machining techniques that produce aluminum and other metal wind chimes also decrease waste. The waste that is produced is then recycled into manufacturing more wind chimes.

1 1 Bamboo wind chimes are among the oldest known to man. Their deep, earthy tone resonates with most and makes them a popular option of wind chimes.

It has also been reported that the vibration and resonance produced by wind chimes can calm the body and reduce stress, anger, and tension. Wind chimes can profoundly affect the body, mind, and spirit by fostering inner peace and healing. They enhance positive Chi and bring harmony, balance, and well-being.

2 2 Japanese ironware bells are perfect for apartments with a balcony or to hang just inside your window frame for days when you are taking advantage of the fresh air. Inspired by a temple bell, these colorful cast iron beauties come with a lightweight paper or metal strips to catch the wind. Rain and gales can damage delicate paper, so you’ll want to replace the hanger from time to time—leaving the opportunity to create your own with a few words of poetry, a tribute to someone’s memory, or a seasonal design.

3 Wind chimes can be as varied as they are melodic.

Whether you fill your space with one or many, the beauty and benefits of the wind chime will accompany.

Dreams Become A Reality When

By Kirsten E Silven Photography by Walt Roycraft

hen Andrea Wilson Mueller of Inside Out Landscape Design began working on this project near Versailles, Kentucky, in late 2016 the property was essentially a blank slate. The goal was to create versatile, functional and—of course—aesthetically pleasing exterior spaces that would serve the family for many years to come, including the addition of a swimming pool, garage, new driveway, hardscape, landscape lighting, plantings and a screened-in second floor porch.

“We added the new garage, carefully placing it along an axis with the new pool,” shared Mueller. “There is also a central walkway, arbor and cutout planters in the decking that lead from the new driveway to the existing porch.”

A grade change demanded proper drainage, which was smartly tucked in along the base of the wall that lies between the house and pool, giving rainwater somewhere to go without creating a distraction for the eye.

Plantings throughout the garden include a wide variety of pollinator friendly choices, such as chokeberry, elderberry, Degroot’s Spire arborvitae, catmint, Northwind switchgrass, giant coneflower, Indian Steel grass, Little Bluestem grass, geraniums, Threadleaf bluestar and Pennsylvania sedge, along with plenty of herbs in the cutout planters, which are easy to access from the kitchen inside.

“We used a powder coated metal arbor to add visual interest and provide a connection with the entrance to the new driveway,” Mueller added.

Inspired by the gardens and inviting outdoor living spaces seen by the homeowner’s on multiple trips to Europe, the design cleverly incorporates various outdoor “rooms,” which manage to offer a degree of separation but still remain interconnected. The end result is a dream come true, in a multi-faceted outdoor living area that offers plenty of space to relax and entertain while simply enjoying precious time and good old-fashioned fun in the sun with friends and family.

s interior design continues to evolve into ever more liberated territory, the living room is no exception, with today’s trends often spanning virtually the entire realm of possibility and holding fast to just one real cardinal rule: It has to look great! The good news is, there is truly something for everyone, from tranquil, laid back nature-inspired looks, sleek and modern, to elegant classics and virtually everything in between.

The key lies in getting everything—furniture, lighting, colors and accessories—to work well together, giving the room a sense of depth and character that only the best design can bring. To achieve this, be sure to create a plan before you begin—working with a seasoned professional whenever possible—and the more detailed the plan becomes, the better the end result will be. Start by simply curating pictures of styles, looks and pieces you really love, then branch out to make it your own by seeing how these items will play together in the real world.

“We’ve seen a push for enhanced functionality in living rooms growing in demand, including motion furniture and sectionals that offer a wide array of options,” shared Michael Wells, who owns Pieratt’s Furniture, Mattress, Appliance & Electronics in Central Kentucky. “We’ve also seen movement towards a more neutral color palette, which offers greater versatility and the option to add in pops of color.”

Wells says clients are also looking for big, deep, comfortable pieces, along with items that are well built and can serve as legacy pieces. This allows the furniture to change and evolve right along with your personal style over time, with pieces that can still work in your home after remodeling or upgrading and moving into an entirely new space.

“Recent trends relating to lighting in a living room include the use of natural materials such as rattan, rope, wood and beads,” shared Robbin Thompson, who serves as a Lighting Consultant at Brecher’s Lighting in Louisville, Kentucky. “We have also noticed some clients leaning more towards wider fixtures that are reminiscent of a drum or wheel, while a variety of different sleek, simplistic designs have been trending as well.”

In addition to natural materials, white glass and LED bulbs in the 3000-kelvin color temperature are also trending, and Thompson says it’s important to look at the total square footage of the room, along with its ceiling height, in order to properly size the lighting fixtures. Often the main fixture is placed in the center of a living room, with recessed lighting added to outline the perimeter in order to evenly distribute light throughout the space.

“Be sure to consider the finishes and textures that may already be in place throughout the rest of your home, in order to ensure any new fixtures complement the overall look and feel,” Thompson added.

Finally, take the time to be truly intentional about every item you select and pare down any sense of being “too busy” in the room.

After all, living rooms are typically used mainly for repose and for spending time with friends and family. Removing whatever isn’t working and streamlining the design will help to enhance the overall quality of the space, whatever your style—from the latest ontrend fashions to the most classic of looks.

Creating an

Outdoor Escape Workshop From Inside a

A

By Heather N. Russell-Simmons Photography Courtesy of Anna Gregory

nna Gregory, a Kentucky woodworker and designer, learned an invaluable lesson of the craft from her father. “He taught me to be a great problem-solver,” she said. “In woodworking, you can’t get frustrated. You have to figure out how to fix mistakes.”

Gregory grew up on the Elkhorn Creek in Georgetown, Ky. There, on the family property, her father turned an old hay barn into a woodshop where he built custom cabinetry. Gregory recalled being about 11 years old when she built her first project under her father’s supervision—a small bookcase that still sits in her childhood bedroom. She also worked in the woodshop. “When I was little, he paid me to sweep the sawdust.

So much sawdust!” she laughed.

Although she swore she’d never become a woodworker, Gregory now works side-by-side with her father in that very woodshop. With a background in furniture, custom cabinetry, retail design/build and installation art, she started Anna Gregory Design in 2017 and began focusing on small batch home goods and sculpture as well as art installation and retail display. “His cabinetry takes up a lot of the shop at the moment, but I have a nice little nook,” she said.

An avid traveler who always brings field guidebooks to learn about the wildlife in places she visits, Gregory strives to create work that can inspire an inside refuge with the sense of escaping to the outdoors.

That inspiration is evident in the extraordinary execution of her wildly popular wooden sculptures, including prickly pear cacti, rubber trees and monsteras.

Gregory primarily works with five different woods: ash, cherry, maple, oak and walnut; all southeastern woods readily available in Kentucky.

“Cherry is my favorite to work with because it has so many distinct characteristics,” she said. “It smells good when cut on table saw; sands beautifully; pops when you apply a wax or oil finish.” And while all wood will react when exposed to sunlight over a long period of time, Gregory finds the way cherry wood becomes darker with a pink-red hue to be particularly beautiful.

When describing the creation of a recent work of art, “I knew I wanted to make a bird of paradise,” Gregory recalled. “Something dramatic with a big leaf structure and curved stems.” She chose maple wood and for the stems she placed dowels in a steam box for about 45 minutes, making the wood more pliable. The dowels were then carefully bent to a pre-made form and set to dry for a few days. “That’s where the design comes from,” she said. “Even when you take the steamed wood from a form, it has a little bit of a mind of its own about what shape it’s going to be.” Once Gregory saw the height and bend, she built in the composition, a balance of the leaves. Those leaves were milled from flat boards and sanded into a thin layer. The leaves, stem and base were then connected through simple joinery.

“My design technique is about distilling,” explained Gregory. “Subtracting what needs to be subtracted to get where I need to get.”

Together with David Kenton Kring, a Lexington-based figurative sculptor and potter, Gregory co-founded Crafted Social in 2019. With the idea of quality over quantity, Crafted Social features regional artists, crafts people, designers and functional artists through curated markets, exhibitions and other events. “Kentucky has such a rich tradition of craftsmanship and design,” Gregory said of their inspiration to promote contemporary functional design and traditional craft design. Crafted Social events honor that rich tradition by encouraging a thriving and inspiring artist/maker community.

F

from their condominium located in the west side of Cincinnati, Ohio, high up on a hill overlooking a panoramic view of the city, Roy and Tish Dorsey decided to return to Kentucky and build a new house in a serene suburban neighborhood in Crestview Hills, Ky. That house was designed by Tim Enzweiler, owner of Associates & Enzweiler, a full-service design firm in Cold Springs, Ky. Tim Burks and Amanda Canter from Tim Burks Builder, Inc., in Fort Thomas, Ky. built the house. To complete the house, the Dorsey’s worked with Tom Kordenbrock, president and interior designer of Kordenbrock Interiors in Cresent Springs, Ky. From the start, the Dorsey’s knew they wanted an all white painted brick house, with black windows, black roof, coach lights, shutters and a triple wide black front door including side lights and expansive transom window above.

Inside on the main floor, a color scheme of black, white, silver and gold was accomplished dramatically with heavy, white custom woodwork, white quartz counter tops in the open kitchen area, black kitchen cabinets and stainless steel appliances and hardware. Charcoal wood floors and white porcelain tile finish the entire first floor.

With one step inside the generously sized foyer that opens to the expansive floor plan, guests see the dining room, great room, hearth room, kitchen, breakfast room and screened-in living room outside. The great room extends through a large expanse of windows to the outdoor living room where the homeowners can accommodate additional seating with the benefit of a fireplace and a built-in kitchen area.

The lower level also includes a large pub room, TV and sitting area, exercise room, two large bedrooms and a full bath. If needed, a large cedar closet and a spacious unfinished storage room can be designed to make more room in the home.

The primary suite and a spacious closet are connected by a vanity and dressing room. The color scheme of this formidable retreat has off-white carved carpeting, white woodwork and light furniture along with embellished lilac walls. Crystal, chrome, glass, mirrors and sconces add to the sophistication.

3 The open kitchen area is a pronounced contrast with white quartz counter tops and black kitchen cabinets.

Kordenbrock used the Dorsey’s furniture, pictures and statuaries to showcase African and Asian influences throughout the open floor plan. African animal patterns such as leopard, zebra and giraffe prints are mixed with white contemporary geometric designs to create an exciting, upscale mood. Asian art provides an international flare of worldwide culture.

Exotic designs in the contemporary fixtures add a rich value to the interior spaces, especially with the use of chrome, crystals, rhinestones and clear glass rods that burst with dramatic sparkle. Crystal details used in many of the light fixtures, sconces and accessories add glamour to the home. Wall sconces repeat the glitter of black, chrome and crystal with strands of crystal beads. Large dramatic contemporary light fixtures add to the drama of high ceilings and open space.

Jewelry is a prominent design element projected in glittering beveled glass vases, candle sticks, mirror frames and lamps adorned with crystal swags, pearls, chrome, black appendages, white and silver. Large ornate and finely detailed woodwork is done in semi-gloss white paint to set a mood of refinement and detail throughout the interior.

Raised coffered ceilings with crown moulding line numerous white geometric beams that add sophistication to the volume of space.

At every turn, the Dorsey’s home is one of formality and elegance.

id-century modern architecture is a classic American style that kicked off after World War II, primarily known for clean lines, minimal decoration, and connection with nature. These homes are characterized by very wide, low footprints with large, open spaces, floor-toceiling windows, and an emphasis on bringing the outdoors inside.

One of the first architects in Lexington to design homes in the mid-century modern style, Richard Isenhour is also often considered one of the finest architects to work in this style, having built and designed nearly 100 homes in various Lexington neighborhoods from 1956 to 1978.

2 2 The giant one-of-a-kind painting in the entry way was created by internationally known sculptor John Henry. Henry was the brother of Isenhour’s wife, Lenora, and he gave this artwork to them as a housewarming gift back in 1972. The Isenhour family considered donating it to a museum, but the Polk’s ended up inheriting it when they purchased the home in 2012.

Isenhour originally designed and built this home on Bridgeport Drive for his family in 1972. Amy and Richard Polk purchased the residence in 2012 after downsizing from their previous house.

“When we purchased the home, we knew it was an Isenhour, and that was important to me as an architect,” Richard said.

“So, we really wanted to respect what the house was from its origins. We were careful not to make drastic changes, but we have renovated, and most of that work was done to the interior.”

The iconic split-level home sits just off the water at Reservoir 3, also called Lake Hickman. It features four bedrooms and two and a half bathrooms, an open floor plan, partial walls, and natural materials characteristic of mid-century modern architecture.

“One of our favorite elements is the immense stone wall that connects the outside to the beautiful indoor fireplace in the living room,” Amy said. “It really blurs the boundary of indoor and outdoor, so you feel like you’re out in nature while sitting in your home.”

Although the main level of the house is mostly the same as Isenhour’s design, Amy and Richard decided to open up the floor plan even more by removing the wall between the kitchen and the dining room. The dining room also features an impressive floating glass corner window that has remained perfectly intact for 50 years and provides a clear view of the lake.

3 3 The immense stone wall connects the outside to the beautiful indoor fireplace in the living room and is representative of Isenhour’s mid-century modern design aesthetics of blurring the lines between interior and exterior. Richard Polk designed and built the floating shelves on the walls and the couple decorated the space with custom artwork by Darrell Ishamel, interesting light fixtures, and a coffee table built by their architect son.

The impressive open layout of the kitchen is mostly original as well, but the Polk’s brought the space into the 21st century with the addition of modern appliances, cabinets, and finishings.

Natural light floods the kitchen and dining room through the high windows all around the house and the wall of windows facing the backyard.

According to Richard, the master suite is the one area that has seen the most changes from the original design. The couple removed the wall that initially separated the bedroom from the bathroom, put in a nice header beam, and expanded the master bedroom to create a more livable space.

“A couple of unique features of this space and what I would say is most personal to us are the live-edge oak woodworking pieces that Amy’s father made,” Richard said. “We’ve got several shelves spread around the room and a custom reading table that he put together for us.”

The couple also converted a large laundry room and closet into what is now the master bathroom. The porcelain tile floors and walls were done in complementary colors that are combined with frosted glass shower walls and floating vanities to give this space an ultra-modern and sleek look.

The back of the house is striking and is perhaps the best example of the saw-tooth roof design that Isenhour was known for. Approximately 90 percent of the back of the house is made of glass, which provides the Polk’s with a completely clear view of the backyard and beautiful lake.

“It’s a real blessing because we get to see what’s out there, and the site is one of the reasons we were lured towards this property and loved it so much,” Richard said.

The backyard slopes down to meet the water. Richard and Amy have made several additions to make the area more accessible and comfortable, including a cantilever dock, a fire pit, and an outdoor kitchen.

“We spend as much time in the backyard, on the decks, and in the water as we can,” Amy said. “We love sitting out by the fire pit. Evening cruises are wonderful on the water, and we generally enjoy how peaceful it is right here in our backyard.”

6 6 The sitting room is where the Polk family spends most of their time relaxing. The space has over-sized leather sofas and a unique coffee table designed by Isenhour that is made entirely of marble and glue. The large stone fireplace was fitted with a new stainless-steel hood that compliments the steel finishings in the kitchen.

7 7 The screened-in porch is original to the home and extends across the back of the first floor, connecting to the two-layer deck outside. The couple likes to spend time here, relaxing and facing the water.

ike and Laura Kerwin of Kerwin Homes have been building and designing dreams since the late 1980s, but this is the first house they ever created just for themselves to live in and enjoy. Intended to serve as their “forever home,” Mike and Laura have poured so much of themselves into this project (as always), creating a truly exceptional space that will serve their family well for years to come.

“We wanted to have enough room for our four grandsons, family and friends to enjoy,” Laura shared.

Situated on just over one acre in Jessamine County’s Harrod’s Ridge neighborhood, the property backs up to a golf course, offering privacy and abundant bucolic, quintessentially Kentucky views.

The Kerwins actually purchased this lot some time ago and saved it for their very own dream home, finally moving in after completing the project late last year.

The house boasts a distinctive European influence, with a charming portico, limestone coping on the exterior, impressive oversized iron doors and a soothing neutral color palette crowned with interwoven tones of silver and gold. Inside, engineered hardwood flooring features the brilliant look and feel of walnut, adding warm undertones throughout, while the total vibe is always elegant, yet also friendly and inviting.

“The rear covered porch, swimming pool and pool house are my own personal favorite features,” Mike shared. “In the mornings, I look forward to enjoying coffee out there while checking emails and going over my day ahead.”

3 Other smart touches include a cleverly situated office and desk space located in the hallway just off the kitchen—convenient but out of sight—and a lovely laundry room that makes doing chores just a little less burdensome.

3 Situated just off the entryway, the formal dining room has a Fine Art chandelier, soaring 12-foot ceilings and a decorative lowered soffit painted a relaxing grey hue with soft green undertones, and a gold foil patterned outline that matches the table’s corner inlay.

“Since I get to spend quite a bit of time in there, I figured the laundry room might as well be functional and pretty!”

Laura quipped.

The entry mural—hand painted with faux details on a barrel-vaulted ceiling by Vince and Casey Murray—is also quite stunning, and feels reminiscent of looking up at blue skies through wrought iron-framed windows of a conservatory.

Another incredible mural adorns the soaring 14-foot groin-vaulted ceiling in the master suite, which also happens to be one of Laura’s most beloved spaces.

Virtually every inch of this home belies the Kerwin’s impeccable attention to detail—from the 14-inch-thick walls and carefully crafted custom kitchen with its oversized island and ample breakfast nook, to the brilliant use of both gold and silver finishes, the separate pool bath and incredible bespoke architectural details that were skillfully incorporated both inside and out, nothing was left out or forgotten in creating a home that will easily accommodate the entire family for many years to come.

KENTUCKY RAILWAY MUSEUM

any Kentuckians are fascinated with trains, their history, and how they impacted our state over the years. Several Bluegrass locations have managed to hang on to the nostalgia of the locomotive, and we even have museums, train rides, and events that celebrate their past, present, and future.

The Kentucky Railway Museum in the small town of New Haven in Nelson County is one such location. It’s a train lover’s paradise, and there is something in this hidden gem for everyone. It’s a fun-filled destination with plenty of history, artifacts, and experiences that make it a worthwhile visit.

1 1 The Kentucky Railway Museum in the small town of New Haven is a perfect activity for the whole family.

“The museum is a historic destination filled with locomotive history and is perfect for a family outing,” said Lynn Kustes, Marketing Manager for Kentucky Railway Museum. “You’ll find an indoor area to explore at the museum and trains being restored outside. You can also take a train ride through the countryside, which is the perfect activity when paired with a stop in the museum.”

Inside are exhibits that include railroad artifacts and memorabilia, which are well laid out for everyone to enjoy. The model trains and displays are a favorite section of the museum. There is also a gift shop to pick up a unique souvenir from your visit.

The museum continues outside with historic locomotives in varying conditions. Many are in the restoration process and getting up close to these giant machines is fascinating.

“The most beloved of the engines at the museum is the L&N Steam Engine,” Lynn said. “It is one of the last in the world, and many passionate people are working hard to get it back on the tracks.”

When you decide to visit the museum, be sure to do so at a time when you can also enjoy a train ride. Train excursions are available on Tuesdays and Saturdays, and the train departs at 2 p.m.

There are a few exceptions to this, so check the website for any changes. Your ticket to ride the train also includes admission to the museum.

2 The train will take you on a 22-mile journey through the scenic Kentucky countryside. After a brief stop in the town of Boston to stretch your legs, you’ll head back to the New Haven station. The trip is about 75 minutes and is perfect for all ages.

For extra excitement, check out one of the themed rides throughout the year. The Train Robbery rides are popular and unique, as well as A Day Out with Thomas the Train and the Polar Express ride at Christmastime.

“The museum is a one-of-a-kind opportunity to learn about the history of the railroad in Kentucky. It allows you to read about it and experience it yourself,” Lynn said. “Whether you’re passionate about trains or are just looking for a unique activity, it’s a great place to spend time in our locomotive-loving state.”

The Kentucky Railway Museum, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization chartered in the Commonwealth of Kentucky for the purpose of educating the public regarding the history and heritage of Kentucky’s railroads and the people who built them through the acquisition, restoration, preservation, display, and operation of the rail equipment and artifacts. Everyone on the small but dedicated staff and crew are volunteer based.

2 As you enjoy a two-hour train ride through the Rolling Fork River Valley, be on guard for a gang of robbers rumored to be in the New Haven area! Not to worry, though. Law enforcement is on hand to protect our passengers. Bring your train enthusiasts on this exciting train adventure for the whole family! Kids can learn about the history of the area, enjoy the story of the robbery, and learn about how trains work. If you wish, you can surrender your loot to benefit the Crusade for Children.

3 Santa Fe #2546 was originally built in 1949 as an F-7

by EMD and then rebuilt and converted by Santa Fe Railroad in 1973 and given the model designation CF-7.

It is a diesel – electric locomotive powered by a single 16-cylinder engine developing 1500 hp. It is the only known CF-7 in the original Santa Fe paint scheme.

4 L&N #152 is a 4-6-2 Pacific type locomotive built in 1905 by Rogers Locomotive Works. #152 is the official steam locomotive of the Commonwealth of Kentucky as designated by an act of the Kentucky Legislature. It is also listed on the national registry of Historic Places by the U.S. Department of the Interior. This engine is currently out of service, but the museum has received grants and donations to have it restored and back on the tracks within 2-3 years.

“The Kentucky Railway Museum is a beloved destination in our state that you may not have known about but should add to your list of must-have historical experiences in the Bluegrass,” Lynn said.
