This museum is a true gem. Linda (museum manager, I think) is very knowledgeable and enthusiastic about the museum, and tells the history of bourbon and its importance to the region. This was much more than I was expecting.
No admission, however donations are requested. The museum is in an old school building with an adjoining sanctuary that is now a second museum on local history. Free parking, but the building is a little hidden from Stephen Foster Road, so easy to miss.
