Trip West - Danville, KY

We arrive at our next stop, the Pioneer Playhouse in Danville, KY.  They have a campground and a Dinner and Show


They don't take reservations and according to their website they are never full, but when we get there there are only 3 sites left and we only barely fit into one.  The neighbor on our right had been there for several months waiting to buy a house.  The majority looked like they were there long term.

It is a cute set up 


With a little main street town.  They open it up a couple hours before the show







It even has a secret garden


Dinner is at 6:30 and the show starts at 8:00

We get a nice table


BBQ Pork, potato, corn and slaw

A few well known actors got their start here


A nice outdoor theater set up


Sold out for tonight and the rest of the run


A cute play.  Southern Fried Funeral.  Had a bit of a problem understanding it all, the sound was a little too loud and the accents sometimes hard to follow.


We visit the Perryville Battlefield nearby.



Nice little hike, except at the end I took off over 20 ticks off Tucson




Before heading out, we do a whirlwind tour of Town.


Constitution Square is a free open-air museum and park devoted to Kentucky 
at the time it became a state in 1792

This central garden commemorates all the Governors of Kentucky



There are several historic buildings.  
They were setting up for a farmers market this morning.


Gary looks pretty happy for someone heading to Jail


We stop and check out the train station


on our way to Millenium Park to walk Tucson


A really nicely done park





Time to move on towards Smokey Mountain National Park
