Old Fort Harrod State Park

On Saturday morning, we went to Old Fort Harrod State Park in Harrodsburg, Kentucky. We decided to go after my dad told us about a beautiful large osage orange tree that is located at the park. We had a good time exploring the tree and walking through the fort replica, catching up on a bit of Kentucky history. Turns out Fort Harrod was the "first permanent settlement" in the state of Kentucky (which was actually Virginia at the time). Of course, David had an interesting point....if nobody is living there now, can we truly say it was a "permanent" settlement? Guess that's one for the scholars to debate.

Elizabeth was a good sport while we strolled around. Of course, her favorite parts of the trip were the three goats corralled in the middle of the fort and the playground. Here she is continuing to learn the fine art of horseback riding:
