n easy drive east on Rt. 23, crossing over at Catlettsburg, Ky where Rt. 60meets it will take you into West Virginia where there are interesting placesthat are unique only unto the township of Ceredo-Kenova. Your family and

friends can enjoy an evening trip for dinner or even a tasty cool treat there.The historic Griffith and Feil Drug Pharmacy has been a mainstay for gen-

erations where it is conveniently located on Chestnut Street which runs par-allel with Rt. 60. Recent renovations invite customers to step back into a timeof red bar stools and booths with the authentic look of a soda and ice creamcounter where drinks like a chocolate phosphate are served up alongside avariety of warm sandwiches and chips.

AGriffith and Feil is a full service pharmacy as well as old fashioned soda counterthat offers sandwich baskets and ice cream in various flavors

Had a little too much to eat? Not to worry. They arealso a full service pharmacy where customers canpick-up prescriptions and over the counter medi-cines while licking on a handdipped ice creamcone made by the friendly folks on staff. Griffith andFeil is open until 8:00 p.m. most evenings.

On the right side of Rt. 60 is the famous Evaroni’sPizza, a family owned restaurant with a unique andinviting atmosphere. The first dining room that cus-tomers encounter is decked out in the Marshall Uni-versity fanfare of bright green, white and Buffalopride. There’s a main dining room with a fireplacethat is used during the colder seasons and a ban-quet hall that is perfect for groups or family events.The square shaped pizza is served with all variety oftoppings and many sandwiches and side dishes areavailable on their menu too. Evaroni’s is open in theevenings throughout the week and always closedall day on Monday.

Another “flavorite” for locals and visitors stoppingin Ceredo-Kenova is Austin’s Home Made IceCream. There is plenty of parking for customers topull-up and enjoy any of the their wide selection ofice cream treats served on the cone, in the cup ormade into milkshakes. I personally recommend try-ing their pumpkin flavor that is offered in the fallmixed with a scoop of cinnamon too. Hot food isalso available from hamburgers to hot dogs to fries

and more. Austin’s is open most evenings until 10:00p.m.

There are other attractions to see and enjoy whilevisiting Ceredo-Kenova such as the shops at theplaza and the “Legendary” Mitch Stadium duringLittle League Baseball season. Consider it a placefor family fun.

“In All the World, there is Only One Evaroni’s” pizza place which can be found on Rt 60.

Austin’s Ice Cream is a drive-up favorite that has hotfood as well as several flavors and varieties of icecream.

My Old Kentucky Home.

Abraham Lincoln CountrySpringfield, Kentuckyby: Cathie Shaffer

a tow n fo r t h e a g e s

s the national remembrance ofAmerica's Civil War continues,it's a great time to explore a littleof Kentucky's Lincoln country –and beyond.

The greater Springfield area is a goodstarting place. The Lincoln HomesteadState Park, easy to find a short distanceoff Bluegrass Parkway, holds a wealth ofhistory about Abraham Lincoln's ances-tors and the influences that shaped himinto presidential material. Golfers mayalso appreciate the 18-hole champi-onship course, which includes a proshop.

The park began with a request in 1936by the Washington County Historical So-ciety that the county give the state landfor a Lincoln Homestead State Shrine.The first five ares held a replica of the firstLincoln cabin in Kentucky, constructedon the site. In 1938, the citizens of Spring-field donated 12 more acres for a nine-hole golf course. By 1940, a road ledfrom the town of Bloomfield to the side

and electrical and sewage systemswere installed in the clubhouse and thenew caretaker's cottage while localcivic organizations raised money to fur-nish the replica cabin.

In this Old Kentucky HomeHistoric Bardstownby: Cathie Shaffer

t h e s u n s h i n e s b r i g h t

The trolley at Heaven Hill Distilleries provides a riding tour of Bardstown for only $5 and helps you decidewhat you’d like to explore on your own.

hether your love is history, whiskey or quaintshops, there's a good chance you'll have agreat time in Bardstown. This historic townmay be best known for housing My Old

Kentucky Home State Park but it offers so muchmore. In fact, you may want to plan an overnightstay to experience it all.

Named the Most Beautiful Small Town in Americaby Rand McNally and USA Today, Bardstown lives upto its title. A traffic circle in the center of town slowsdrivers down and lets visitors get a good look at theold courthouse which now houses the visitor's center.No matter which spoke of the circle you follow, you'rebound to find something interesting or surprising.

Go one way and you'll come upon the Basilica ofSt. Joseph Proto-Cathedral on which constructionbegan in 1816. The church is still in use today but vis-itors are warmly welcomed between services and

weddings.When Catholicism came to America, Bardstown

was named as the first diocese of the West, whichspanned from the Great Lakes to the Mississippi.Then larger than Louisville, the town held promise asa center for religious expansion. Built of local mate-rials, the sanctuary's "marble" pillars are actuallymade of wood and beautifully painted to mimic thestone. A beautiful pipe organ is used for Sundaymass and on special occasions. The artwork of thechurch is spectacular, from the centuries-old paint-ings to the stained glass windows.

Near Bardstown the Abbey of Gethsemani housesAmerica's oldest and largest order of Cistercianmonoks and is the burial site for spiritual writerThomas Merton. A museum at Nazareth celebratesthe story and mission of the Sisters of Charityfounded in 1812.

in is a two-color traffic light invented by one of the townsfolk. Amongthe first modern traffic lights, it was in use until the mid-1980s when thestate highway department insisted it be changed for a newer one. It'sfascinating to watch the hand sweep until the red light turns green andvice-versa.Volunteer docents greet visitors and are more than happy to answer

questions. Their knowledge is exhaustive and their willingness to chatis the epitome of small town friendliness. Whether it's offering informa-tion about the Ku Klux Klan's short existence in the area to cranking upthe old phonograph to let a cylinder play a tune, their help makes avisit into a treat.

Whether it's the 17-star flaghanging on the wall or a copyof the movie "Boogie Nights" ina showcase – actor JohnHolmes was an Asheville native– the sights are fun to behold.

You don't have to be anOhioan to enjoy the museum.The artifacts will bring backmemories for many whether it'sthe old-fashioned telephoneon the wall or a display of itemsthat used to be commonlyfound in doctor's offices.

Be sure to leave plenty of timefor your visit. Although the build-ing may look small from the out-side, every inch of space hasbeen used. Wandering throughquickly will leave you missingmuch of the fun items there areto see.

Oh, while you're there, be sureto ask about the dog thatvoted and the chicken thatpaid for its own meals. Youwon't be sorry that you did.

An exhibit of Ku Klux Klan paraphernalia from the early 1900s serve asa reminder that the organization began long before the civil rightsmovement and was further flung than just the South.
