Day Trip: Rockhouse Bottom in Creelsboro, KY

The most recent Day Trip was to Anymore, Kentucky

By Linda Waggener

There's a new reason to head to Russell County now that Kathy Campbell has purchased and opened the historic Creelsboro Country Store.

You'll find old fashioned treats, crafts and home cooking. Food being served up the day we visited included a daily special plus generous sandwiches on homemade bread. And for dessert, we decided on big scoops of Chaney's hard ice cream (a Bowling Green company) in waffle cones. That's what granddaughter Tillie recommends after the experience.



Kathy isn't among the booths at Farmers Market on the Square this season because of this new venture she and her husband have taken on. She was always a favorite stop at the Market with her incredible flowers and soaps and more. Now those things can be found at the Campbell's Creelsboro Country Store where she will continue with the Kentucky Proud tradition, incorporating Kentucky businesses in her own.

Spring break visitors Tom and Matilda Anne Waggener were my guests for lunch at the Store and afterward they enjoyed a hike at nearby Rockhouse Bottom. They hiked under the natural arch, gazed at the Cumberland River, then saw the paths that beckoned them up and up.

As we traveled back to Columbia, reviewing the favorite moments, Tillie pronounced with satisfaction that she would call Hailey and tell her, "I ate a peanut butter chocolate ice cream cone on top of a cliff today!"

To get to Creelsboro from our public Square in Columbia, take Highway 55 south, through Glensfork. In about two miles, turn right on Crocus Road, KY 1313. You'll pass one of Adair County's most beautiful, ever, homes on the right as you pass through Crocus, KY. The next main intersection is Bryan, KY - bear right on KY 1058 to Creelsboro.

Turn right at the Store and it will take you to the Rockhouse.
