Russell County, Kentucky

I'll be heading to Russell County, Kentucky in about 3 weeks for a short family vacation/research trip. Trying to make a plan for the best use of my time. Can't spend entire days anywhere and will basically be there for a 3 day week-end. Wish I was more familiar with the area...

Hi everyone,
I was never a part of Facebook (althought I've seen a little of my kids' pages) so I'm trying to figure out how this works. I'm really hoping this doesn't become something that I become so wrapped up in that I never have time for research! Looking forward to meeting lots of new friends!
