Scenic Lincoln Co., KY: Old and new blend beautifully 2011-03-20 - Stanford, KY - Photo by Linda Waggener. Stanford, KY has a timeless quality about it, consciously maintained through a careful blend of old and new. In the background, above, is the clocktower of Lindoln County's ancient courthouse, 102 E. Main ST, taken on the hill above, from the stately new Lincoln County Public library, at 201 Lancaster ST. Peeking between the two is the relatively new Lincoln County Judicial Center, a pleasing, structure which is far more subdued, far less intrusive on the townscape, than so many of its Kentucky counterparts. For most Adair Countians, Stanford is closer physically than it is in mind. It's not on any of the most frequently traveled routes. The town, a model for preservation, provides a nearby study which is less than 60 miles away from Downtown Columbia, whether traveling via Somerset and the newly four-laned US 27 all the way north to Waynesburg, or by Liberty and and number of blue highway byways. It's downtown walking campus provides hours of pleasant, pedestrian friendly strolls and a unending opportunities for picture perfect postcard photos. It's a place for ideas to see what can happen when a town is loved to new life. Permalink | Comments?
