Today our adventures took us to a town not too far away from the farmette. Bardstown, Kentucky is located about an hour away from us. To be honest, I haven't had the gumption to visit, even though I have heard that it's all that and a bag of chips.
So, I discovered that it is.
I had breakfast at Mammy's restaurant and yes, it was fabulous.
Then, I discovered all of the historic details of the town. Seriously, this house was for sale by owner.
Be still my old-house-lovin'-heart.
Even the old jail house has been turned into a bed and breakfast. I threatened to put the kids here, but they just rolled their eyes.
They're on to me....
i've seen this town's historical aspects on another blog a couple of times. seems like you'd be right at home! :)
ReplyDeleteI love Bardstown. You could have put your kids in the stocks in front of the old jail :)

ReplyDeleteLooks like a cute town to visit.
ReplyDeleteThat house is fabulous, love those half moon windows with all of the detail..sigh. xo

ReplyDeleteYou let the kids call your bluff????
ReplyDeleteOoo I love that house! Cute town too.
ReplyDeleteI like
ReplyDeleteI would love to live close to a town like that. I think I need to go find one here in Oregon.. :-)
ReplyDeleteHi Michelle - I love those old houses, too. And some of them are slowly disappearing. Now, those stocks are looking pretty handy! I would've loved to have had some of those when I had teenagers!
ReplyDeleteI adore old houses and old towns too...
ReplyDeleteHave not been to Bardstown in years and it's less than an hour from me. Kentucky is blessed with lots of old towns like this. I need to get out more!
ReplyDelete"bourbon capital of the world"
ReplyDeletelove these old towns
Lovely town, I would like to explore it!
ReplyDeleteOhhhhh I want to there too:) Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeletewow...I love that old house that's for sale!!
ReplyDeleteDo you blog with Daylily? I think she lives in Bardstown!
I love the shot down the street!
ReplyDeleteI wasn't sure who you were at first - au revoir to Farmchick ;-)
You sure have a lot of historic places in Kentucky. I love the blue and yellow/gold row house in photo 2. The details are pretty.
ReplyDeletei love that old midwest brick housing stock......there is no substitute for the beauty of those classic buildings.
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute place!! I enjoy visiting towns like that...and I always walk away wishing I had tons of money. (If so...I think I would own one very cute little house in every place I visit:))
ReplyDeleteBardstown is a place I haven't been to visit. Looks like a place that I would enjoy with all that old architecture. Nice post -- barbara
ReplyDeleteLooks like a fun day trip--especially stopping for breakfast. Hope you have a great week.
ReplyDeleteLooks like Lebanon, OH...old town with plenty of antique stores.
ReplyDeleteI've always wanted to live in a castle... I believe that house you discovered is the next best thing.
ReplyDeleteWonderful collection of your day, Michelle. Love!
That was a step back in time...very nice. What a great way to spend the day discovering something new by discovering its old.
ReplyDeleteAs always, love it.

It looks pretty well tended, Farmchick.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderfully historic looking town.
ReplyDeleteChrissy
Had a brother-n-law who lived there many, many moons ago. As always, nice pics.
ReplyDeleteNeat clock/sign.
ReplyDeletewow, i really wanna go there!
ReplyDeleteNice varied architecture. The Jail house looks like something I would come across on my side of the Atlantic. When I was looking for accommodation for my Welsh trip last year I came across in my research a Police station. It became apparent by the website that the room I was about to book was the overnight cell. I wondered why it was a lot cheaper than what would be the inspectors room ... I stayed elsewhere !!
