Saw some history at the Homeplace 1850s Working Farm and Living History Museum. And, as much as we like our modern power tools and solar panels, it's fun to slow down for a day and explore a time when every road was a dirt road.⁠
⁠
The Homeplace includes 16 original log structures, fifteen of which were moved from within 10 miles of their current site in Pryor Creek. While many of the buildings are over a century old, even the more current additions to the farm are produced with an eye to period accuracy. ⁠
⁠
Volunteers take meticulous care to produce period-accurate clothing and equipment. They cultivate heirloom produce and livestock that would have been common on 1850s settlements. With that, they practice traditional farming practices such as controlled burns to clear fields and a combination of fenced vegetable gardens that would have fed the family and growing cash crops such as tobacco and corn. ⁠
⁠
Put together, Homeplace is one of the most historically accurate recreations we have seen in our extensive travels.⁠
⁠

Kentucky isn't a state that comes to mind when people think of bison. These shaggy giants of the plains are common sights in protected lands throughout the midwest. But their natural habitat stretches far beyond that. And while early European settlers pushed this species to the brink of extinction, modern conservation efforts continue to bear fruit across the US. ⁠
⁠
The Elk and Bison Prairie in Land Between the Lakes has its own impressive heard, including young calves. Yes, there are portions of Kentucky that were historically prairie. And in the Land Between the Lakes, which stradles the western border of Kentucky and Tennessee 700 acres of prairie and woodland offer a unique safari-style opportunity for wildlife viewing.⁠
⁠
Only enclosed motorized vehicles are allowed on the loop road that accesses the prairie. And for good reason. Bison can be dangerous, and they will absolutely take over the one-way, single-lane road. ⁠
⁠
That means amazing opportunities to see the bison up close while still enjoying some air conditioning. Or, in my case, an opportunity to crawl into the truck camper and take pictures from the roof hatch.⁠
