Travel: A visit to Rosine, KY, the birthdplace of Bill Monroe Click on headline for full story, photo(s) From dispatches from Joe Hare Joe and Pat Hare stopped by Jerusalem Ridge, Rosine, KY on their way back from the Black Lions Reunion in Chicago at the end of September this year, just a little past Monroe's birthday on September 13 (1911) and the anniversary of his death on September 9 (1996). "My wife is a big fan of Bill Monroe's music," Joe Hare writes. "She had been wanting see his homeplace for a long time," and on this trip, it was a convenient stop. "The house House is well restored and very neat, with a lot of period correct furniture which was there when the Monroe's lived there," Joe Hare writes.br> "Jerusalem Ridge is a pretty, neat place," he writes, "with lots of woods all around."br> Rosine, KY, where Bill Monroe, the Father of Bluegrass Music, was born, is not so far away, but it isn't in a direction so often visited by Adair Countians. From the Adair County Courthouse, the distance is about 110 miles taking the scenic route to Cave City, across the Mammoth Cave Park, to Brownsville and on to Beaver Dam and Rosine.br> Going by the Louie B. Nunn, William Natcher, and the Western Kentucky Parkway, the distance is a little less in time, a little more in distance - about 120 miles - and still a gorgeous drive. Either way, the travel time should be 2.5 hours or less. This story was posted on 2009-12-14 07:02:30
