Another great museum in Louisville, Kentucky-home to the Kentucky Derby. This museum is for both, the avid and the casual baseball fans. Includes live demos of how baseball bats are made. You even get a mini baseball bat as a souvenir at the end of the tour.
I've been going to the par since I was a kid. Our family vacations in my early years was Mom, Dad and my Sister camping either in an umbrella tent or out of the back of a Chevy station wagon. This is above the main or Big Clifty Falls.
