Oct 19 Elizabethtown to Petersburg KY

Today we are in en route to the Creation Museum.  We are visiting horse and bourbon distillery sites for which Kentucky is famous.  We stopped for a tour at Makers Mark.


  The tour guide told  about the family tradition, the development of the recipe and marketing, and showed us the process equipment and steps.  The bottlers (personnel) broke for lunch just as our tour entered.  That lady with the hand/arm protection would have been dipping bottles to apply the red wax seal that signifies Maker's Mark
Our guide describes  barrel preparation and  warehousing



We then visited the Kentucky Horse Park which is an educational theme park and museum.  It is a working horse farm and is about all kinds of horses.  There were top race horses there, some with winnings well into ons ($).  There were life sized bronze statues of Man O War and Secretariat.  
These guys have nice places
