I'm a civil War buff so this place has some meaning and significance to me. The path or road to the…read moretop of the hill is a bit steep. The asphalt road leading up to the fort has been closed off for years. It appears that tree branches and other overgrowth have not been trimmed recently. Since Covid there hasn't been much activity or events which is unfortunate. Although no battles were fought here it was an important site to defend against the possibility of a Confederate attack. It's probably the best preserved earthen fortification of the Civil War that is still intact. A small memorial cemetery is located opposite the fort. The dead, as far as I know, have been reinterred closer to their homes I believe. Disease felled these unfortunate souls rather than bullets.

This earthen hilltop fortification is presently accessed by an abandoned road. The section of still…read morein-use road leading up to the park doesn't look a whole lot better, and the park doesn't seem that well-maintained. However, it is an interesting site with a nice view. While there was some signage, I was surprised by how hard to tell what the history of the place was; perhaps if there are guided events at the large amphitheater you get more. The main use of the place was to hike, and for that it wasn't bad at all.

At this time, they are not hosting any weekday tours, so I could not go in and visit. They may be open Fridays , Saturdays and Sundays. I will just call or email ahead before you go.The cabin is also known as Branham Tavern and has served as a tavern, and a church house for members of the clergy over the years. There is ample free parking available on the street in front of the cabin. It is a nice attraction to see if you are in town, but unless they are open, you will probably not spend a lot of time there. The cabin is located off of a busy road, or at least busy for Corydon. Be carful. Anyway, I would recommend coupling this trip with other stops such as Indiana Cavern, The Harrison County Interpretive Museum and the Constitutional Elm Stump. Fun Facts: The cabin is listed on National Register of Historic Places and Harrison County gets its name from President Harrison.

Pope lick trestle located near taylorsville Kentucky but just inside of Lousiville a few miles off…read morethe gene Snyder expressway. This sits directly across the main road from the Pope lick park and circle k gas station entrances. You can see the trestle for awhile along the main road. So this Trestle is a major urban legend here in Lousiville and has been the subject of documentaries, tv shows and short movies. Urban legend is the trestle is haunted by a goatman or the Pope lick Monster. He will either lure you to your death with a song or hymn on top the trestle and back down to your death. Or he will drop down and handle you slasher film style or something. Now obviously there is no such things as haunted half men and half goats. But people still have fun here. I can remember growing up as a teen it was a popular place to visit and look for goatman. Since then the parklands has bought the land and it's part of the parks system and has several do not trespass signs and a fence up. This does not keep people off the trestle. You can walk up a very steep and semi dangerous hill along the trestle where you can hop on the tracks beside the train. The problem here is you can walk the tracks and once you do that your basically on a railroad bridge and if a train comes you are a goner unless you have flash like running abilities. Several people have died and been critically injured here. At the foot at the bottom of the trestle there is actually some memorials for the deceased. It's not goatman that will get you it's a very active train trestle that will. I've climbed up there recently with my daughter (the gate is pryed open). But we will not walk on the track. We will stay to the side and just check out the view. We stay at a very safe distance. While it may be tempting for some to play the "let's find goatman" game it just isn't worth the risk to me. Overall while it's a fun urban legend it's a dangerous one and when you show up at night it does have an eerie feel to it. I'm assuming it's from the tragedy and not some half man half goat monster lurking. Either way it's a big part of Lousiville local lure and history.

Don't get attacked by the Pope Lick Monster!…read more You go under the trestle when walking or running or riding along the Louisville Loop, most easily accessed from Pope Lick Park of the Parklands. It looks big and old and creepy, the perfect setting for a local legend! I don't know the legend, but I know that it exists. But I DO know the Parklands and the Louisville Loop and I love any kind of point of interest along the way. The trestle is one of them. Cool beans.
