I was searching around an area about 20 miles out fo town. I was hoping to fidn a new good site to detect in but unfortunately did not. However I did see this from the road and turned around. I was excited for a bit but then I seen it was historic...Oh well its still a really cool place. Its called Bells Tavern. It was built by a man named William Bell in 1830. It served as a stagecoach stop that brought visitors to Mammoth Cave when first open. The inn and tavern was famous in the United States and Europe for elite patrons, cuisine and a special drink of peach and honey brandy for “Joy before the journey’s end. The tavern burned in 1860 and reconstruction by Bell’s grandson, William F. Bell and stepfather, George M. Proctor, was halted due to the Civil War. Thanks for looking!!
