Friday Shoot Out-theme-Landmarks.

Writing my first post on my new computer.
Yes I have had it a while but not comfortable using it full time yet.
We will see how it works. out.


A landmark is a recognizable natural or man-made feature used for navigation, a feature that stands out from its near environment and is often visible from long distances. In modern use, the term can also be applied to smaller structures or features, that have become local or national symbols.

Spires of historic St. Vincent Church on the campus of the 
Sisters of Charity of Nazareth.



The SCN community was founded in 1812 by Kentuckian Catherine Spalding.
One of only two religious communities originally founded in the U.S. All the others had come from Europe.
This group of sisters founded the first hospitals and educational facilities in the state of Kentucky.

During the Civil War the school run by the sisters were closed here in Bardstown to allow North and South soldiers to be cared for by the sisters at this location.
Today it is still a neutral free zone.




Rick houses, not very pretty but definitely landmarks of the Bourbon Industry.

Our county is known as the Bourbon Capital of the World.
These belong to Jim Beam distillery.

 The reason Jim Beam® Bourbon is the world’s #1 Kentucky bourbon is because we’ve been at it for over 200 years. Seven generations of Beams have kept our secret bourbon-making process alive, while battling the wilds of Kentucky, the Great Depression, two wars, and a pesky little thing called Prohibition. Now you can see our 200 year legacy come to life, and sample our Kentucky bourbon, at the new American Stillhouse 

Go here to see more landmarks.

  1. That is surely something that would catch the eye when you drive by past it. The buildings are very distinctive.
