This area was the rear end, when the Confederates fled to the south side of the Cumberland River at Mill Springs Falls after being defeated by the U.S. Army under the command of General George H. Thomas during the Civil War’s Battle of Mill Springs. The Confederate army took their long march from Kentucky back to Tennessee from these grounds. This grist mill was built in 1877, after the war.

This is the Wm Phelps General Store Museum and Home. The museum "where time stands still" has served the needs of Palmyrans and Erie "Canawlers" as a boarding house, tavern, bakery, and general store since its construction in 1826. The building was purchased by William Phelps in 1868 and he began renovations which were completed in 1875; subsequently left untouched by his son Julius, who locked the doors in 1940, leaving a curious retail time capsule to explore. It was originally a Federal style building facing Canal St at the Erie Canal; the front however, was modernized in 1868, to the then popular Italianate style. Having remained virtually unchanged over the past 130 years, the store along with the stock, furnishngs, and business records, amounts to a virtual time capsule of nineteenth- and early twentieth-century Palmyra. Upstairs you'll visit the elegant Phelp's family home with post-Civil War furnishings and Victorian splendor, unspoiled by electricity or indoor plumbing, where Sybil Phelps resided until her passing in 1976. The haunting presence of the Phelps' family legacy remains to this day. Located at 140 Market Street in Palmyra, NY.

Daniel Scotten built a four-story business block between Washington and Shelby that was rented to a grocery company that soon failed. He then converted it into the Cadillac Hotel in 1888; bought and razed the Antisdel House next to it; and built an addition to the hotel. By 1891, the Cadillac Hotel covered the entire block fronting on Michigan between Washington and Shelby.
It became one of the finest hotels in the city. ..
The storied Book-Cadillac's doors closed in 1984, 60 years after they had first opened.

2nd Cascade

Mill Springs

Continuing our trip up Kentucky's Meadow Creek, last night we walked downstream a short way and visited the first cascade, now we make our way upstream to the next. I really love this one, as it drops 6 feet then spreads out and falls over several layers to the left of the falls. There's so many perspectives to this beauty, and the more I think about it, the more I feel it's my favorite of the stream. Just be ready to get your feet wet!

Established in 1929, the Henry Ford Museum of American Innovation was created by Henry Ford as The Edison Institute, a private educational institution, before opening to the public in 1933, initially being owned and operated by the Ford Motor Company. The museum contains exhibits and artifacts that were collected by Henry Ford starting in 1906, when his wealth began to increase substantially due to the success of the Ford Motor Company, with the institutions continuing to collect artifacts and items to this day. The museum is housed in a large structure, designed by Robert O. Derrick, that is quite similar in structure to a warehouse or factory built during the time of construction. Covering approximately 500,000 square feet (50,000 square meters), the building contains a variety of exhibits, mostly focusing on machinery, furnishings, automobiles, and other industrial goods, as well as historic artifacts that represent culturally significant moments in the history of the United States. The museum today is a major tourist attraction within the Detroit Region, and is one of three significant attractions affiliated with the Ford Motor Company in Dearborn, alongside Greenfield Village and the Ford Rouge Complex, all of which are open to tourists and visitors. The museum was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1969, and was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1981.
