Wild Horses
If wild horses couldn’t keep you away, no doubt you
made your way to Churchill Downs, the racetrack in
Louisville, Kentucky, for the annual Kentucky Derby.
May 17 marks the anniversary of the first “Run for the
Roses” in 1875. While visiting the Bluegrass State, you
might want to stop at Bowling Green, home of .
the popular American sports car, the
Corvette, or see the National
(Boy) Scouting Museum on the
Murray State University campus.
Keep scouting around for a replica rm n

Daniel Boone in 1775
