have all the gold :-) They also have the General Patton museum.
It was a really nice place with lots of history. |

We visited the Jim Beam plant where they make all the
varieties of the great Kentucky Bourbon. It was a really nice self
guided tour in which you get to see all the processes of how they make the
bourbon, how and how long it is stored and even the house the has been in
the family for 8 generations.
