Fall Heritage Festival offers a day of family fun No charge for admission to the event. Farm of KY 55 just four miles north of Adair County line in Taylor Co. Click on headline for full story, photo By George Kolbenschlag Area residents can load the car with family and friends and head to Homeplace on Green River, 6048 New Columbia RD, Campbellsville, KY, Saturday, September 12, 2009, for the Fall Heritage Festival. The festivities will be on-going from 9:00amET/8:00amCT until 5:00pmET/4:00CT. There is no charge for admission, parking or most of the activities. Homeplace on Green River borders on the Green River and State Highway 55, five miles south of Campbellsville and four miles north of the Adair/Taylor county line. It will be well-marked with banners. The historic farm will be the site of good food, live music and tons of activities for the whole family. Homeplace on Green River has been an active farm since 1804. It is being restored as a permanent reminder for Kentuckians of all ages of the role agriculture has played and is continuing to play in the lives of South Central Kentuckians. This year's Fall Heritage Festival features a wide variety of agriculture related activities, exhibits and demonstrations including a working blacksmith and potter. A large display of arts and crafts will also be exhibited. For the adventursome, there's a challenging corn maze and for the kiddies a hay maze. Hay rides and other farm-related activities will also part of the day's activities. Food will be available for a nominal charge. Live music will include not only instrumental, but vocal. Three young women fromCampbellsville--Lindsay Cissell, Holly Parker and Daley Sapp-- and Allison Stafford from Bradfordsville will be performing a variety of vocal music throughout the day. All four have performed in a number of venues and have done well in state-wide competitions. Those attending will also learn more about Homeplace, an exciting new attraction in the tri-county area. The 227 acre farm is a joint effort of Adair, Green and Taylor counties and is being restored to an earlier time as a tourist attraction and learning place to help preserve our agricultural heritage. The property has been the home to only three families in its 205 years--the Tates, the Buchanans and the Halls. The original home was built in 1804 and has been expanded over the years. A major effort is underway to renovate the home as well as a Civil War era bank barn and several other historic outbuildings. Homeplace will also include nature trails, picnic areas and other opportunities for family activities The restoration of Homeplace on Green River involves many groups and organizations in addition to the three county governments. The Nature Conservancy, U.K. Cooperative Extension Service, Tebbs Bend Battlefield Association, Heartland Waterways Tourism Corridor, Kentucky departments of agriculture and fish and wildlife, USDA Natural Resources and Conservation Services and others are playing a role in the reestablishment of the farm. Initial funding for purchase of the property and now for the on-going improvements came from both state and federal government, The Southern and Eastern Kentucky Tourism Development Association and a number of other organizations and local businesses and individuals.
