Visitors from the United Kingdom enjoy Henderson KY

October 30, 2010

A few weeks ago we had the fortune to visit your town on our latest holiday to the U.S. We are gradually visiting all the states and this time John James Audubon brought us to Henderson, but what we found was much more.

We stayed at the very comfortable and hospitable L&N Bed & Breakfast with Mary Elizabeth and Norris Priest. Having found it by chance on the Internet, we were not prepared for the wonderful welcome we received and the excellent breakfast. Norris recommended Rookies for our evening meal, and we were pleased with the food and the service.

Rightly very proud of your town, Mary Elizabeth and Norris encouraged us to do more than just the sculpture walk before we headed onwards to the Audubon museum. What we found was a pleasant array of historic buildings and something familiar to us from home — a Carnegie library (Henderson County Public Library). Both of us work in libraries in the UK, so we made ourselves known to Director Donald Wathen, who was very welcoming and kindly gave us a tour of your interesting library. At a time when we are concerned about the drop in usage of libraries in the UK, it was heartening to see a thriving and busy library. We arrived just as Tai Chi was finishing and a genealogy class in progress. You also provide an amazing range of resources for the size of library.

How we wish we could have stayed longer, but the visit to the museum called and this completed our visit here. What a fantastic museum and the sculptures on the walk are such a wonderful idea.

I hope you print this to show how proud you should be of your hospitality and town and to thank those we met along the way who made our visit happy and memorable.

Henderson KY: What a place (letter from a guest)

June 2, 2010

This letter appeared in the Henderson KY newspaper The Gleaner 5/28/10

Steve and Carol Mackintosh Editor:

We rode into your town recently on our tandem bicycle on our way from Mobile, Ala., to Owen Sound, Ontario, on the Underground Railroad bike route.

After asking where we could stay downtown near the river, we were directed by the nice folks at your city hall to the L&N Bed and Breakfast. We had dinner at Rookies amid a very friendly crowd of people who were very welcoming and have just finished having breakfast with Mary Elizabeth and Norris Priest.

We just wanted to say what a great place Henderson seems to be and how friendly everyone has been. We are from central New York (think cows, not subways), and this is our second long bike trip. Places like Henderson are what make this such a great country.

In spite of our political and cultural differences, our fellow Americans are wonderful people.
