Scenic Cumberland Co., KY: Parkway Hotel 2012-02-23 - Burkesville, KY - Photo by Larry Smith. Burkesville, KY is truly Kentucky's best kept secret, but no secrets are safe from the peripatetic Lawrence of Summerville, Green County, KY aka Larry Smith, the WAVE; aka Larry Smith, The Big Dawg radio stations. Smith was in Burkesville recently and snapped this photo of the Parkway Hotel, preserved and improved. It's located at the Southeast Corner of the Square in Burkesville, at the intersection of the Square and South Main. The only hotel guests today are those painted in the windows by artists Charlotte Cash and Pat Ritter.Burkesville now has become an art mecca through the efforts of the artists and the people who have made funding happen, Phyllis Smith and Laura Lee Butler. Smith, a bon vivant and epicurean, failed to let us know whether this Hotel ever had one of those great dining and banquet halls associated with the likes of the one in the Miller Hotel in Columbia, the Jacksonian in Scottsville, KY, or the Joplin in Elizabethtown, KY. Maybe readers can help us out on that information.
