When you see something that looks interesting pull over and see it.  I almost didn’t go here, because I wasn’t that interested in The Everly Brothers, but there is so much more here.

Description:

Dawson Springs was hit very hard by a tornado recently.  I haven’t really looked into what has survived the devastation.  I kind of don’t want to know.  I am most worried about the baseball field.  I’m glad to have visited when I did.  I think it is a great town to visit.

A Civil War battlefield with additional history as a refugee camp later in the war.  It also has an amazing view of the Mississippi River.
