I don't know about the congregation or the pastor, I was drawn to this large white church and the…read morehistorical marker in front in downtown Elizabethtown. The marker reads, "The oldest continuing Baptist congregation west of Allegheny Mts., organized June 17, 1781, near Hynes Station. Preceded by log structures, this edifice completed, 1834, by John Y. Hill. Sold to First Baptist Church, 1897, and services held until 1974, except when USA soldiers used building as hospital, 1865. Listed on National Register of Historic Places, 1974." It is marker number 1621 and it was erected in 1977 by the Kentucky Historical Society and the Kentucky Department of Transportation. [This is a repost of my review from October 21 that was my 2048th review of 2024, 282nd in Kentucky and 23068 overall. Yelp removed it because I mistakenly reviewed the church instead of creating a new business for the historical marker. Mistake corrected. Here we are. Yelp wants to merge the church with the marker.] [Review 94 of 2025 - 282 in Kentucky - 23661 overall]

The walking tour is accessible to people of most abilities, with a bit of uneven ground in some spots. Cool, comfortable temperatures. (Maybe have a light sweater.) Cool/interesting history of how the carven transitioned from a massive limestone mining facility that started in the 1930s, to its multiple uses today. The zip-lining looks like a lot of fun, but that was not for us on this day.

I have seen the billboards and ads but was like it can't be that good and it's like $50 a car...hmm well I am so glad we booked and went. Not only is it insane that you literally are driving into a huge cavern in your own vehicle but the size of it is is ridiculous. Then add in the light shows and it's breathtaking! It's about 12-15 minutes drive at a slow pace and you have light displays from all sorts of known Disney and other companies as well as a laser light show (so be careful if that causes you any medical issues). The price is well worth it!!! Come on out and check it out!

Walking the square in Elizabethtown, I read the marker and looked up. Yup, there's a four-inch…read morecannonball stuck in the wall. The marker below reads, "Gen. John Hunt Morgan's Raiders arrived in Elizabethtown on December 27, 1862, appearing on the brow of the hill that is now the City Cemetery. The main objective of the Christmas Raid was to burn two huge Louisville and Nashville Railroad trestles at Muldraugh Hill north of the town. By destroying the trestles, Morgan hoped to relive pressure on Confederate Gen. Braxton Bragg's Army in Tennessee by cutting the flow of supplies to Union Gen. William S. Rosecrans' army. Before moving on Muldraugh Hill, Morgan wanted to neutralize the Union force in Elizabethtown. The Confederates placed artillery on the hill and demanded the surrender of the Union garrison. They refused and Morgan's artillery opened fire. The bombardment lasted twenty minutes; 107 rounds were fired upon the buildings in the town killing and wounding several of the soldiers who had taken refuge there." Interesting history. Stop by, take a look. There is parking in the square. [Review 20203 overall - 236 in Kentucky - 1180 of 2023.]
