What I saw today

Greensburg, IN -

Courthouse Roof Tree-

The first Decatur County courthouse on this site (circa 1827) was replaced by this one in 1860. In 1863 it also served as an armory, with troops camped on its lawn. In 1870, citizens noticed several trees growing from the roof of its 115-foot clocktower. Although there were as many as five trees at one time, today there are only two---possibly mulberry trees or large-tooth aspens, The courthouse was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1973.



Petersbury, KY -

Creation Museum

Outside this 70,000-square-foot museum are pavilions and gardens. Inside are exhibits that literally walk you though the history of the bible: among the highlights is the Walk Through Biblical History exhibit. Also noteworthy is the Noah’s Ark Construction Site. A theater shows movies that complement the displays.





Versailles State Park -

The Busching Covered Bridge marks the entrance to Versailles State Park.



Whitewater Canal -

 




Ron's Roost Restaurant and Bar for dinner ..... Great Chicken.  I got another dinner for take-out for tomorrow!

Voted as serving the best chicken by the Cincinnati Enquirer, Ron's Roost is easy to spot thanks to the 14-foot fiberglass rooster on its roof.
