Liberty Cafe, Butler, Kentucky

Wish I had the smarts to photograph the restaurant and the food but I didn't. I stopped by after getting a recommendation from the young woman at the Shell station, who by the way was very friendly and gave me a rose because I was grandmother, go me!!! I love cafes and diners especially in little towns, so off I went to find Liberty Cafe, after taking the detour (road construction closed the road) I finally came across the little cafe, not at all what you would expect from a small town cafe, everything was new, clean, nice atmosphere. I had such a craving for breakfast so I ordered 2 eggs over medium, biscuits (no gravy, all Kentuckians gasp now) bacon and home fries. The eggs were amazing and seasoned perfectly, the bacon was almost perfect, another minute on the grill would have made them just crispy enough, biscuit (you only get one) was wonderful but my favorite were the home fries, OMG!!! Just the best ever, best part about home fries? Homemade with real potatoes not frozen....YUMMY! If you get a chance head on over it's worth the ride. 4.5 stars out of 5 for breakfast.

I'll be back!

Butler Kentucky to Dry Ridge Kentucky

Yesterday was a very long day for me. I traveled 165 miles to photograph 7 homes. My first stop was Butler, Kentucky where I found this gem (photo below.)  This historic two story stone house was built by Pendleton County, Kentucky pioneer Walter Fryer in 1811. Abraham Vastine, a housebuilder, built this house of limestone from an adjacent quarry and it has walls two feet thick. The roof truss system is built of wood framing held together with wooden pegs. The home was not completed until 1813. The home is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

The Pendleton County Historical Society announced in April 2007 that it had leased the home for 99 years as a museum and Society offices. The building had been vacant for seven years. Thank you Wikipedia
