The Aydelott-Rosenberger House was built in 1868 by George Aydelott after moving his family Brandenburg, Kentucky to the Louisville area. Following George Aydelott’s death in 1890, the house changed hands several times before coming under the ownership of the Rosenberger family in the 1930s, who held onto the house until 1997 when it was purchased from the family by the Jefferson County Fiscal Court . The house and its property were added to Farnsley-Moremen Landing property, and designated a Jefferson County Historic Landmark District in 1998.

Two rustic pioneer cabins sit amidst a lush green field at Martin’s Station Wilderness Road State Park in Ewing, Virginia. Named after Joseph Martin, the station became an important stopping point on the western side of the Cumberland Gap, which now serves as the border of Tennessee, Kentucky, and southwest Virginia. For pioneers looking to settle on lands east of the southern Appalachia mountains, the station served as the last fortified settlement on the Wilderness Road entering Kentucky.

Spring House – My Old Kentucky Home – Bardstown

May 19, 2024 0 Comments

A view of the historic log cabin spring house at the site of the My Old Kentucky Home State Park. A stairway ascends to the center piece of the state park, the Federal Hill Mansion once owned by United States Senator John Rowan in 1795. The park derives its name from a musical ballad written by Stephen Foster, a song that was also made the state song of Kentucky in 1928. Some have suggested that Foster was inspired by Harriet Beecher Stowe’s anti-slavery novel Uncle Tom’s Cabin. The state of Kentucky purchased the Federal Hill property in 1923, designating it an important historic site. The state park is located in Bardstown, Kentucky.
