Scenic Boyle Co., KY: Log cabin at Forkland Community Center 2012-04-24 - Boyle Co., KY - Photo by Kenny Browning, the Feedman. Log Cabin from the 1790 Located on the grounds of the Forkland Community Center in Boyle County, KY. Had been a year or so since stopping in at the Forkland Community Center. Since my last visit the log cabin had been finished and a strange looking stone had been added to the grounds. The place looks great, thanks to the efforts of the community in and around the Forkland area. Using the old school as an anchor for the community center and museum , they have been able to preserve the heritage of the Forkland area. - Kenny Browning, the Feedman Seen in the ColumbiaMagazine group on Flickr. See also: Forkland Community Center. If you go: It's about 50 miles or so, using any of several routes from Downtown Columbia, KY, with the recommended one being through Knifley, KY, a route which takes only 1 minute or so longer than the quickest route. -CM Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.
