Quirky Tourist Attractions in or near Kentucky

While in Kentucky, you might enjoy a visit to:

But not forbidden to you. This show cave was used as a hideout to make moonshine until 1943, which perhaps explains its name.
~65 miles from Harlan.

The tall, skinny, nearly nude Native stands. Home-built, maybe 25 feet tall, with tense hands and a "Whatever, dude," expression.
~48 miles from Harlan.

Big seated Lincoln statue, only a tad smaller than DC's enthroned President, was commissioned by a lawyer known as Mr. Social Security.
~62 miles from Harlan.

An 80-year-old former gas station roughly shaped like the Spirit of St. Louis, or maybe a biplane. The locals are trying to preserve it.
~70 miles from Harlan.
