From Mammoth Cave to the birthplace of Abraham Lincoln, the National Park sites of Kentucky range from unfathomably large natural wonders, to places of immense historical significance. The Cumberland Gap served as America's first great gateway to the West, while Kentucky's fields and forests played a central role on the frontlines of America's deadliest conflict, the Civil War. Join me in my latest installment in my goal of discussing every National Park site in America, as we cover the National Parks of the Bluegrass State, Kentucky.
