Day 10,   May 7

We had carpooled to Danville, got donuts and baked goods at Burke's bakery and took a tour of McDowell House & Apothecary. McDowell was known for the first ovarian tumor surgery, he had successfully remove a 22 1/2 pound tumor, the women, 46 year old, Jane Todd Crawford, fully recovered, went home, and lived into her 90's.

We had walked around Constitution Square State Historic Site, this was the site of important events in Kentucky's history, the 10 constitutions conventions that led to Kentucky's statehood.



Shaker Village

  Onto Shaker Village, had lunch in the dining rooms, and then had a tour of one of the houses where they would spin wool, comb the wool and then make different items. We then went to the barn and watched a man shear a sheep, he sheared the sheep and the wool all came off in one piece. Walked a little around the grounds and then had to go down to the river for a boat ride. The boat ride lasted about 1 1/2 hours.

Day 11, May 8

 Carpooled to Win Star Farms, which is a stallion breeding farm. Walked out to see the different stallions in the paddocks, which are pastures. Some of the stallions are worth a lot of money for stud service, $5,000 - $100,000 and when the economy was better they could charge up to $500,000.



Win Star Farms



 Left the farm and drove to Equus Run Winery, where we had wine tasting and a boxed lunch, which we had ordered earlier on the caravan. We had taken a tour of the winery and walked a shirt distance in the vineyard. Got back to campground and had another GAM.
