David’s Pea Salad —
snappy! herby! fresh!
Mrs. Josephine Carr, Formerly of Huntertown
We met Mrs. Carr in the driveway of her childhood home in Huntertown, where she reminisced about growing up with her grandmother. Today the hamlet of Huntertown is an interpretive park, part of the Woodford County Parks and Recreation system.
Corn Makes (Bourbon) Whiskey
Before there's whiskey, there's corn. We all know that rain makes corn but how does corn get from the field to the still? Nat Henton, one of our former Holly Hill chefs, now grows corn for bourbon on his family farm.
Up Home at Holly Hill Inn
Mama Des, the matriarch of the Parrish family, did more than plant seeds, the flowers of which still bloom a century later. Through her care of the house and land that we call Holly Hill Inn today, and the children she raised to extend a welcome to all, she planted a legacy of hospitality and community we’re honored to carry on.
The Measure of Her Worth
Freda Raglin is 100% genuine. We can’t resist the pull of her stories or the lingering aroma of her famous yeast rolls or the realization that Freda is a self-taught culinary genius. Her innate skill and ability to create delicious dishes by taste and touch are a treasure worth preserving.
Wallace Station Then and Now
Chris and Ouita Michel opened Wallace Station on Old Frankfort Pike in the summer of 2003. Referred to on maps as US Hwy. 1681 and by oldtimers as Shady Lane, Old Frankfort Pike is a national scenic byway. It’s a beautiful drive any time of the year but especially in the spring and summer as ancient trees embrace in the center of the roadway to cast a canopy of shade.
