Kentucky Rest Area

Kentucky Rest Area – This week I am going to show you a place that I have wanted to stop at for years and we finally did a few months ago. We drove by it so many times, it is a rest area in Kentucky, probably one of the best rest areas I have ever stopped at.

This unique historical rest area/welcome center is, Whitehaven. It is a Victorian home built in the 1860’s and has quite the story as to how it became a rest area.

This home is steeped in KY history from former Vice President Alben Barkley to many influential figures in the formation of Kentucky’s history.

This mansion was once destined to be destroyed, but was saved by the KY Transportation Cabinet.
