We had a few hours to kill before our tour of Mammoth Cave, so we went exploring. We drove back to the highway, and found a cool pre-Civil War tavern in nearby Cave City. All that's left are the rock walls and foundation; the building burned at least twice in its history.
We have a friend in our Miata club who's from this part of the country. He carries the Bell name, and is fascinated by his family history. We think he's probably related to the Bells who lived here. It will cool to find out!
The ruins were beautiful. With the fragile parts destroyed by the fire, you can really see how the building was constructed, the building blocks they used, from huge shaped stones like the lintel over the doorway, to the tiniest bits used to fill in between the larger stones.
