Travel: A Day Trip to Munfordville, KY and Green River Park Click on headline for introduction with Johnnietta Jessie(s) photo album Johnnietta Jessie of Edmonton, KY took a day trip to Munfordville and visited the Green River Park there. She shares photos from the trip, of the Old Pump Tower, the Walking Track, and a view of Green River from the Park. Munfordville, the county seat of Hart County, is off the beaten path for many in the 7 county CM area, but it's closer physically than it may be in mind. According to Bing Maps: From Greensburg, KY, it's only 26.5 miles. From Edmonton, KY, only 28,6 miles From Campbellsville, KY, only 36.2 miles. From Columbia, KY, only 44.7 miles. From Burkesville, KY, 52.2 miles. From Russell Springs, KY, 57.7 and Jamestown, 61.1 and from Liberty, KY, 64.9 miles. The Wikipedia entry is: Munfordville, KY The mention of Munfordvillle always evokes, for me, thoughts of when rivermen floated timber rafts down the Green River from Neatsville, KY, when that village was a thriving town. The stories we've heard is that the raft hands got $2. a day in pay until they reached the Hart County seat, after which they were off the payroll and had to walk home or get back the best they could. The community is always set in Adair Countians minds because it is the birthplace of a truly great Adair County writer, Gordon Crump, of the Clay Ridge community. For more on this giant of Adair County lettters, see: At 80, Gordon Crump proves you can live the life you want, written at the time of that birthday and posted October 17, 2006. And, a story I remember in Gordon writing, but couldn't find immediately, alludes to the time he got a speeding ticket for riding his bicycle too fast across the famed Munfordville Green River Bridge. -EW This story was posted on 2012-05-06 03:37:42
