I'm planning a few weekend trips next month before it cools off too much and was wondering if anyone had any other ideas that maybe near where I'm heading. I know @Buckeye Bill has traveled the region I plan to go pretty extensively. I know visitor centers/museums are still shut down but I haven't been out to explore any sites since the beginning of this whole COVID mess and I'm getting a little bit of cabin fever. Any and all suggestions welcome!
The first trip I'm heading south from Louisville with the ultimate destination of Fort Donelson. I'm thinking of making a side trip along the way to the reconstructed Civil War fort at Glasgow, KY (Fort Williams) since it's not far off I-65 which I will be taking to Bowling Green, KY before I cut west for for Dover.
My second trip I'm looking at heading to Tebb's Bend Battlefield Park. After that I plan to head west and check out what I can see at Munfordville although their website says access is more or less restricted right now, I'm assuming due to COVID. I also plan to stop in Shepherdsville, KY to see the site of a Civil War fort there that protected a rail bridge over the Salt River on my way back to Louisville.
(A few sites that aren't on the list: Bardstown and Perryville as I've been to both multiple times already and Mill Springs as I'm waiting for COVID to die down so I can visit their museum.)
