Scenic Adair Co., KY: Cattle grazing in winter pasture 2017-01-02 - Off Old Montpelier Road, Adair County, KY - Photo by Linda Marcum Waggener, ColumbiaMagazine.com(c). A favorite "shortcut" to Montpelier is Old Montpelier Road - which could aptly be named "the Montpelier Bypass" is an equally scenic County Road from Pleasant Hill Christian Church to the Central Business District of Montpelier. Along the way, there's equally scenic farm scenes as on Montpelier Road. This one, off J. Coffey Road, with the grand old farmstead, offers a great vista year round, especially in winter time. - EW Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.
