I know this is kind of a long shot. I'll be in Kentucky on orders with the Army through October and November and looking for fun activities for the weekends. I'm willing to drive 3-4 hours, so that would include Cincinnati and Indianapolis.

I plan to stop in Chattanooga on the drive up.

Thanks!

National Corvette Museum in Bowling Green. Didn't stop, didn't know it was there until I drove by on the interstate, but it looked cool.

National Museum of the US Air Force in Dayton. This is an awesome museum. Spent five hours there and wished I could have spent more. Take the free tours. Oh, and the museum admission and parking are free.

Might also want to check out Mammoth Cave NP in Kentucky.

Plenty of bourbon distilleries along the same interstate. Bourbon Trail and whatnot.

Spend a weekend in Bardstown. Several distilleries in that area. Plus, visit the Hal Moore military museum. Start calling now. The very popular distilleries are booked solid several weeks out.

Nashvegas!

I haven't been there, but my wife took the tour here a few years ago and loved it: Louisville Slugger Bat Factory and Museum

We have both done the Buffalo Trace distillery tour a couple of times. It is a good one if you like bourbon.

Mammoth Cave, Louisville Slugger museum, Ark Encounter.

When I went through the Armor School at Fort Knox during 1993-1994, I did

• Louisville Slugger Factory Tour twice
• Corvette Factory Tour twice (the museum didn't exist yet)
• Jim Beam Distillery twice
• Toured Mammoth Cave

I recommend all of those

I don't know how much of the Patton Museum is left at Fort Knox or if they moved the vehicles down to Fort Benning (Moore), Georgia.

If you're looking for good Pork BBQ, Mark's Feed Store is good.

I went to the one in Valley Station location (off Dixie Highway - US 31W) and attended Aggie Muster there in 1999

The Corvette Museum and factory tour was one of the highlights of our fall vacation through Kentucky and Tennessee last year. It was awesome!

So they recovered the Museum from Mammoth Cave finally?

There was a sink hole at the museum a few years back.

Yes, they have multi-media presentations that tell all about the 30 foot deep sink hole in the Skydome section of the museum in 2014. They talk about the 8 cars that went down in the hole, how many were successfully salvaged and put back on display and how many were beyond help. The sinkhole opened up in the wee hours of the night so no one was there to witness the event but it was caught on security cameras. They reopened that area a little over two years later.

The combo of the museum and the walking tour of the Corvette Assembly Plant was great! That more than satisfied my wife's bucket list wish to tour an automobile assembly plant. A week or so later we took a tour of the Toyota Plant in Princeton, IN and it was disappointing by comparison. It's a huge plant and the technology installed there is impressive, but it's a tram tour and it's not nearly as intimate as the Corvette plant tour. You just don't get as close to the action and really don't see as much.

I lived in Cincinnati for a few years and Southern Ohio along the border is quite underrated. I loved the fall season while I was there. There are a few state parks there (East Fork, Adams). Red River Gorge in Kentucky is pretty cool, too.
