I recently visited Paradise Park in Powderly, Ky, right off the Highway 189 Bypass. I don't think a lot of people know just how beautiful this park is.
There is an old log cabin, a Coal Mines Shotgun House, the Old Springridge School House, old outhouses, an old jail cell and Merle Travis' birth place. Merle Travis was born in Rosewood, Ky in Muhlenberg County and is well known for his "thumb picking" style of guitar playing.
You can go into all these buildings with the exception of the Merle Travis home, which is only opened for special events.
There is also a play ground, a bandstand area and a pavilion with picnic tables & grills. There are lots of trees making for a nice place to go on a hot sunny day. You can drive through the park or park outside the fence and walk in.
