Relive major military engagements, heroic deeds, and even a Civil War-era military ball. • Hallways and hymns In our historic homes, churches, taverns, and inns, you can walk in the footsteps of statesmen, pioneers, and patriots; add your voice to the joyful noise of a congregation established 200 years ago; visit the house where the Todd family entertained daughter Mary’s husband, Abraham Lincoln; marvel at the path the Confederate general took when he galloped his horse through his house! • Rub a stone, find an ancestor Scattered across the region are cemeteries and family burial grounds dating from the days of Kentucky’s first settlers through the Civil War, making the Bluegrass a popular destination for genealogy buffs. |
