The Kentucky Rushmore mural depicts Kentucky icons Muhammad Ali, Abraham Lincoln, Colonel Sanders and Secretariat the famous racehorse. Originally conceived to be a giant mountain sculpture, the project failed due to budget issues but has been brought to life by artist Margaret Morely. Painted on the side of the original WHY Louisville store, which has other photo ops -- such as a carnival cut-out sign that can transform you into a strong man or bearded lady, and the store's mascot: the fearsome Bearwolf.

The Bearwolf of Louisville is a friendly and photogenic statue who lives at the weird and wonderful WHY Louisville store. The Bearwolf loves to play dress-up and have his picture taken. People come from all around to meet The Bearwolf and shake his paw. He's part bear and part wolf and you never know what his outfit will be.
