Just saw this and now you whet my appetite to experience that! Such rich history where you are, Stacey! I’d love to show you a bit of KY too like Boone’s fort on the river or Boone Tavern. We have Boone everything here:) Thanks for sharing a love of history with me. You’re the best!

I can’t imagine anyone coming away from that place the same 😔. It looked horrific from the information we saw there. Amazing that you have a relative who lived through it. If you ever make it this way, we live very close to the area. I would love to take you 💛. Coming during the reinactment or the Andersonville days (they have a little town square across from the prison site) are some of the best times to come. We’ve been there several times and it’s always interesting.

Bless you, Stacey, for seeing this post that has been in hiding! Your mention of Andersonville is all too familiar to my family. My great-great grandfather was imprisoned there after being captured on the KY/TN line as a mounted infantry Union soldier. His life was never the same upon his release. Truly a horrible experience. I would so like to travel to see the site, though! I know it is remarkable for its history. Thank you for sharing this. Fascinating!
