Heading East - Bardstown, Kentucky - The Old Talbott Tavern

After a brief sojourn in Kansas City, Dwayne and Carla departed for Maryland to launch Foreign Affair.  They spent the night at the Talbott Tavern in Bardstown, Kentucky.  This former stagecoach stop was built in 1779 and has provided a comfortable resting spot for many famous personages over the past 239 years.  Of course, the place is haunted.  We slept well and heard no bumps in the night.  Perhaps, it was because we had a hearty meal at at the inn's restaurant and enjoyed a flight of bourbon as our night cap.  Our room was down the hall from the Jesse James Room which still has bullet holes in the wall from his last visit as a human.  His ghost allegedly periodically appears but not during our stay.  We have more to see and do in Bardstown.  Perhaps, we will stay there again on our way back to Kansas.  The old town jail has been converted to a B&B.  Maybe, we'll stay there on our next visit.
