Tourism: Downtown passes test of tough travel critics Importance of hometown in history, significance of outstanding citizens is coming to life for some very fortunate Camp Casey students, whose Kentucky adventures came full circle yesterday With photo, links to Kentucky Adventurers stories, photos By Ed Waggener It wasn't a busload of Canadian tourists which stopped by the Chamber of Commerce office yesterday afternoon to inspect the history of Memorable Old Columbia, KY, but Columbia was critiqued by some pretty experienced travelers. And our town passed the test of the seasoned adventurers. Sara Dunbar, one of the visitors had this before the visit and after summation. "It was wonderful. I didn't think anything was here. It was like a desert in the middle of Europe. Now it seems like Lexington." Sara is a member of the Kentucky Adventurers from Camp Casey, the third grade group at Colonel William Casey Elementary which is led by Pam Geisselhardt. The tour Thursday, May 8, 2008, included a group which had already made six major stops around Kentucky, their leader said. These include:
The kids took a slightly abbreviated version of the Walking Tour designed by Vonnie Kolbenschlag. They didn't go up the hill to the Trabue House, but they did go up Guardian Street and saw where the heavily travelled Creelsboro Road went past the Robertson House, which lies in the East Guardian Street curve. When they took the part of the tour up the hill on West Guardian, Ms. Geisselhardt showed them where the brick house which was Dr. Salato's residence is located at the corner of Monroe and W. Guardian Streets. "That helped them to see more about the significance of heritage in their hometown," Ms. Geisselhardt said. At the top of the W. Guardian Street Hill, and around the corner on High Street, the Adventurers were shown the house now owned by Chuckie Rogers, and let them know that that is where she lived at one time. "That was important to them too," she said. The learning continues for the Kentucky Adventurers. Next Saturday, they will take a trip to Cumberland Falls. The Kentucky Adventurers include Chris Burris, Grant Cockerham, Sara Dunbar, Linsey Grant, Michael MacKenzie, Kia Miller, Noah Ollery, Katie Roy, Kassidy Roy, Cole Schmidt, Makala Slater, Lauren Talley, Garret Waggener.
