Natural Bridge State Resort Park

Natural Bridge State Resort Park is a public recreation area located along the Middle Fork of the Red River, two miles south of the unincorporated community of Slade, in Powell and Wolfe counties, Kentucky, United States. The state park lies adjacent to the Red River Gorge geologic area and is surrounded by the Daniel Boone National Forest. Its namesake natural bridge is the centerpiece of the park. The natural sandstone arch spans 78 feet (24 m) and is 65 feet (20 m) high. The natural process of weathering formed the arch over millions of years. Some of the most famous sites in the park are the arch itself, "Lover's Leap", and "Fat Man's Squeeze". The park is approximately 2,300 acres (930 ha), of which around 1,200 acres (490 ha) is dedicated by the Office of Kentucky Nature Preserves as a nature preserve. In 1981, this land was dedicated into the nature preserves system to protect the ecological communities and rare species habitat. The first federally endangered Virginia big-eared bats, Corynorhinus townsendii virginianus, recorded in Kentucky were found at Natural Bridge State Resort Park in the 1950s. History The park was founded as a private tourist attraction in 1895 by the Lexington and Eastern Railroad. In 1910, Louisville and Nashville Railroad acquired the land when it purchased the Lexington and Eastern Railroad. In 1926, L&N's President Wible L. Mapother turned over its approximately 137 acres to the Kentucky State Park Commission, making it one of Kentucky's original four state parks when that system was established the same year. Trails There are over 20 miles (32 km) of trails over uneven terrain from moderate to strenuous difficulty, including trails to White's Branch Arch, Henson's Cave Arch, and other scenic areas. The park's 0.5 miles (0.80 km) "Original Trail" to the natural bridge dates from the 1890s. Other trails include the 7.5 miles (12.1 km) Sand Gap Trail and the 0.75-mile (1.21 km) Balanced Rock Trail. Five miles (8 km) of the 307 miles (494 km) Sheltowee Trace National Recreation Trail run through the park, including the Whittleton Trail which connects the park to the Red River Gorge Geologic Area. "Fat Man's Squeeze", a narrow passage in the rock formation, leads to the bottom of the arch. Formations Natural Bridge has several unique sandstone rock formations, including the Balanced Rock. This is a huge block of sandstone balanced on the edge of a cliff near the Natural Bridge. The "Balanced Rock", is located on Trail #2, not far above Hemlock Lodge. In the early days of the Park, it was called the Sphinx because, when viewed from the correct angle, it crudely resembles the Sphinx in Egypt. Although it is now called the Balanced Rock, it is in fact a pedestal rock - a single piece of stone that has weathered in such a fashion that its midsection is narrower than its cap or its base. This formation is one of the biggest and most perfectly formed examples of a pedestal rock east of the Rocky Mountains.

Old State Capitol (Kentucky)

Das Old State Capitol, auch Old State House genannt, war das dritte State Capitol von Kentucky. Die Pläne stammen von dem jungen Architekten Gideon Shryock. Er wählte den Greek-Revival-Stil, als Brückenschlag zwischen der jungen Republik Kentucky und den demokratischen Idealen des antiken Griechenlands. Der Athene-Tempel in Priene diente als Vorbild. Das Tympanon ruht auf sechs ionischen Säulen. Die wurden aus regionalem Kalkstein gearbeitet. Entsprechend der fensterlosen Bauweise griechischer Tempel, ist auch die Hauptfassade des Old State Capitol fensterlos. Eine Laterne auf dem Dach sorgt für natürliches Licht um Vestibül, das zudem durch seine freitragende, zweiläufige Treppe auffällt. Traurige Berühmtheit erlangte das Old State Capitol, als am 30. Januar 1900 ein Attentat auf den gerade erst gewählten Gouverneur William Goebel verübt wurde, dessen Verletzungen er wenige Tage später erlag. Heute erinnert daran eine Gedenktafel im Boden an der Stelle, an der Goebel zu Boden ging. Das Gebäude genügte zunehmend nicht mehr den Ansprüchen der Regierung. 1904 wurde der Grundstein für das neue Kentucky State Capitol gelegt, welches 1910 in gebührendem Maße seiner Aufgabe übergeben werden konnte. Das Old State Capitol ist seit 1920 Sitz der Kentucky Historical Society und wurde am 11. März 1971 als Baudenkmal in das National Register of Historic Places aufgenommen. Am 11. November des gleichen Jahres erhielt das Gebäude den Status einer National Historic Landmark. Heute dient das Old State Capitol als Museum.

Old State Capitol (Kentucky)

The Old State Capitol in Kentucky, also known as Old Statehouse, is the former capitol building of the Commonwealth of Kentucky. The building is located in Kentucky's capital, Frankfort, and housed the Kentucky General Assembly from 1830 to 1910. The current Kentucky State Capitol was built in 1910. The Old State Capitol has served as a museum and the home of the Kentucky Historical Society since 1920. It has been restored to its American Civil War era appearance and was designated a U.S. National Historic Landmark in 1971 for its exceptional Greek Revival architecture, and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The Kentucky legislature voted for its construction in 1827. The building was designed in the Greek Revival style by Gideon Shryock, an early Lexington, Kentucky architect. The Old State Capitol was his first building and he was only twenty-five years old. Shryock chose the Greek Revival style to symbolically link Kentucky, a young republic, with ancient Greece, the prototype of popular democratic government. He wanted the front of the building to duplicate the Temple of Minerva Polias at Priene. Greek temples had no windows, therefore the front of the capitol is devoid of fenestration. Other architectural features include a self-supporting stone stairway and a domed lantern above it to bring in sunlight. A bitterly contested 1899 state governor election came to a climax when Democratic claimant William Goebel of Covington, Kentucky was assassinated at the capitol on his way to be inaugurated. A plaque reading "William Goebel fell here, Jan. 30th, 1900" exists near the front entrance of the building. Martha Layne Collins, Kentucky's first female governor, lay in state, and also have her funeral held, at the building on November 9, 2025.

Oneida Baptist Institute

Oneida Baptist Institute (OBI) is a coeducational Southern Baptist boarding school in Oneida, Kentucky, affiliated with the Kentucky Baptist Convention. History Oneida Baptist Institute was founded by James Anderson Burns with the intent of bringing an end to the culture of feuds and violence in Clay County, Kentucky. Burns aimed "to teach the children of the hostile clans to love each other and not fight," believing that a combination of education and Christian love would cause their feuds to "stop automatically." With the help of H. L. McMurray, a Baptist preacher originally from Kansas, Burns selected a site for the school and recruited members of the warring clans to work together to build it. The founder was correct and the collaborative efforts of many in starting the school put an end to the feuding in the area. The first building was completed in 1899 and classes began on January 1, 1900, with four teachers and 125 students. The current president is Larry Allen Gritton Jr., who has been president since mid-2013. Notable alumni Bert Combs, 50th governor of Kentucky (attended but did not graduate) Jensen Huang, co-founder of Nvidia Corporation (attended but did not graduate) Russ Mobley, member of the Kentucky House of Representatives Russell Coleman, 52nd Attorney General of Kentucky (attended but did not graduate) Incidents In February 2020, the parents of a Kentucky teenager filed a lawsuit against Oneida Baptist Institute. The lawsuit alleges their 13-year-old son was sexually assaulted by a 17-year-old student. The alleged offender was dismissed from the school. The court case has been dismissed as of November 16, 2024. References External links Official website
Southeast State Correctional Complex

Southeast State Correctional Complex, formerly the Otter Creek Correctional Center, is a medium-security prison located in Wheelwright, Kentucky. The facility is owned by CoreCivic and is operated by the Kentucky Department of Corrections. The prison has housed both male and female inmates at different times, from Kentucky and from Hawaii. The prison opened in 1981. In 2008, a secretarial employee of the center fatally shot herself in the office of then-warden Joyce Arnold, raising questions about how the weapon had been smuggled in past security. Amid other allegations of mismanagement and poor medical care, Hawaii removed its 168 female inmates from Otter Creek beginning in 2009 over multiple charges of sexual abuse. Kentucky removed its state inmates from Otter Creek in 2012. The facility remained vacant from 2012 until 2020. On October 18, 2019, Kentucky Governor Matt Bevin announced that the Commonwealth of Kentucky would enter into a ten-year agreement with CoreCivic to lease and reopen the facility. The prison, which was renamed the Southeast State Correctional Complex, will be operated and staffed by the Kentucky Department of Corrections and will be managed under the same rules and procedures as state owned prisons. In May 2020, Bevin's successor, Andy Beshear, announced that the prison would reopen in September 2020. The facility officially reopened under state management in September 2022 housing male inmates. Notable Inmates Brice Rhodes – A Louisville rapper who was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole in March 2024 for the May 2016 murders of Christopher Jones, 40, and brothers Maurice Gordon, 16, and Larry Ordway, 14. Gordon and Ordway witnessed Rhodes kill Jones, so Rhodes stabbed the brothers to death, burned their bodies, and disposed of them in a dumpster.
