1. The Woodson Farm Marker
Anthony Woodson's fields and woods felt the ravages of war. Yet before and after, and even during the strife, the daily life of a central Kentucky farmstead carried on. As you wander the paths of the Woodson farm and visit the house, keep your senses sharp for clues to what life would have been like between the eve of war and the turn of the 20th century.
