Three Forks Historical Center

Reviewed By Elizabeth H - Maysville, Kentucky

Stepping through the doors of this small building I did not expect much. However, I was blown away by the artifacts within the memorial museum. The stories behind each of these pieces of history were amazing. I could spend en entire day reading and learning about the stories that are associated with each artifact!

Sweet Pete, Hunter and Jacob were amazing guides! They are the heart of the whole experience. It was a really fun 2 hours all the way around. The gorge was gorgeous as always. Would definitely come back! Afterwards, you absolutely have to go to Miguel's for some amazing pizza!

Lee County Recreational Center

Reviewed By JamilaAbril - Berea, Kentucky

Beattyville is the county seat of Lee County and is a coal-town turned tourist attraction with rock-climbing, hiking, canoeing, kayaking, and is located at the mouth of the Kentucky River. It is also the home of the annual Woolly Worm Festival (which I've heard was actually very good, however, Woolly Worms creep me out). Recently, the community pooled its resources and created a Tourism Development Committee. The committee, headed by Dedra Brandenburg, has been working to promote these events and encourage outside tourism within the area. Dedra is a great asset to the community because she is well informed and a great help.

Lee County Memorial Park

Reviewed By Dedra B - Beattyville, Kentucky, United States

The Lee County Memorial Park is a great stop to learn about military history of Lee County. I found engravings for both of my grandfathers who served in WWII on the memorial wall. There are listings for people who fought in every war all the way back to the Revolutionary War. Great location for people interested in local history and genealogy. You must also check out the Three Forks Historical Center and the genealogy room at the Lee County Public Library.
