Driving Directions from Midway, Kentucky to Edmonton, Kentucky. US 127 Yard Sale Kentucky. Let Beaumont Inn bed and breakfast serve as your lodging headquarters while exploring the world's longest yard sale.
The US 127 Corridor Yard Sale started in 1987. It begins at Covington, Kentucky, and runs South through Harrodsburg to Chattanooga, TN, then switches to the Lookout Mountain Parkway, continuing to Gadsden, AL. (See a map.) The annual sale is August 7-10, 2014. The sale is very popular, and visitors from several foreign countries have attended. The original intent of the sale was to prove the back roads have something to offer, and that the interstate system was not the only mode for travel. The Lookout Mountain Parkway Association asked to be included in the sale route a few years after the sale began. The Fentress County Chamber of Commerce in Jamestown, Tennessee has served as headquarters for the 127 Corridor Sale since 1995.
Thousands of people participate in the sale each year as vendors. People come from near and far to view this spectacular event. Kentucky Bourbon Trail - Kentucky - Reviews of Kentucky Bourbon Trail. Cumberland Gap National Historical Park - Cumberland Gap National Historical Park. Urgent Dispatch From an Editor On the Road. When I went to Louisville recently, I expected to see horses, not lobsters.
But the city has more going on than the Derby. Former tobacco farmers have used government settlements to switch crops and sometimes even careers. They're now doing a booming business in farmed catfish, have an experimental program for Australian freshwater lobster and ship their products all over the country (Louisville is a UPS hub). My best meal was at Holly Hill Inn (426 N. Winter St.; 859-846-4732), a restaurant in a 150-year-old house in Midway, an hour's drive from Louisville. Because Kentucky is the home of Colonel Sanders and because I'm a fried chicken fanatic, I had to find the best.

Food Across America: Louisville, KY. Louisville, Kentucky, may be horse-racing and bourbon country, but now it’s also food and art central.
Many of the best new restaurants, in fact, are near important galleries and museums. Power couple and local collectors Laura Lee Brown and Steve Wilson are a force in both the city’s culinary and art worlds. In 2006 they helped launch downtown’s fabulous 21c Museum Hotel—an epicenter of the art scene—and its terrific restaurant, Proof on Main. On a recent night, chef Michael Paley’s bison tenderloin (from Brown and Wilson’s farm) with Parmigiano-Reggiano stone-ground grits kept my eyes fixed on my plate. That was no small feat given the art in the dining room, like Zebra Trophy, Johnston Foster’s taxidermy-inspired sculpture of leather, wire and broom handles. The next morning, I went to Toast on Market, a new spot in the East Market Street gallery district, for decadent bread-pudding pancakes and stops at the Zephyr Gallery and the Green Building Gallery.

On the Appalachian Trail. Eighty-four-year-old Hazel Miracle sat in her armchair, talking with us as she expertly cored, peeled and quartered enough Black Ben Davis apples to fill a five-gallon bucket.
"They aren't much to look at," Miracle observed in her deep eastern Kentucky drawl, and she was right; they were as tiny as golf balls, with olive green skin darkened by powdery black patches. But when she offered us a handful of last year's harvest, the leathery chunks were the richest apples we had ever tasted: tart, sweet and bursting with concentrated flavor. Once the bucket was full of apples, she would dehydrate them, and they would supply the filling for a year's worth of the fried apple pies she had been turning out for most of her life. (Sadly, this was her last batch; she died a few months later.) Let those dried Black Ben Davises stand as a warning to anyone who would write off this lean, mountainous corner of eastern Kentucky. And there was a further quest: the elusive pawpaw. Captain Bacon. Throughout most of my twenties, for reasons that would probably make me laugh today if I could remember them, I was a vegetarian.
For nearly a decade, I wouldn't go near a porterhouse or a lamb chop or a sparerib. I always made an exception for bacon, though. People thought I was kidding when I explained that bacon wasn't a meat, it was a condiment.
