Bandana, Kentucky -
Monkey's Eyebrow

There are several Kentucky sites with odd names (Big Bone Lick, Beaver Lick, Whoopflarea, etc.), but the best is probably Monkey's Eyebrow, located in northern Ballard County, on Ky. Hwy. 473. There used to be a store there, then a souvenir stand that sold t-shirts and trinkets, but I think the only thing there now is a sign for the Monkey's Eyebrow Taxidermy Service. There are several local accounts of how the name came to be, but some folks think it applied to a crescent-shaped hill called Beeler Hill, which someone thought looked like a monkey's eyebrow when the grass was tall.
