Corbin

I live here.

The only historical place here that I know of is the original KFC.

That’s pretty much it.

I wouldn’t recomend visiting here for anyone, unless they want to see a statue of Colonel Sanders and eat some fried chicken and mashed taters’

Even if you aren’t big on KFC, it’s worth a stop in Corbin to see the original site of Harlan Sanders’ first restaurant. It still functions as a KFC outlet, but half the building has been turned into a museum full of old advertising, collateral materials, photos and a reconstruction of the original kitchen and office where the secret herbs and spices were tested and perfected. Sanders failed many times before KFC took off. It’s a testament to perseverence and ingenuity.

Great area, lots to do if you are the ‘outdoorsy’ type. If you are an urbanite that doesn’t like nature and mountain crafts/culture/music/etc this area probably isn’t for you.

Yes, the moonbow. Look it up. A thoroughly charming, though tiny, town. Also track down Old Gerry’s Restaurant, the original home of the Whopper. (Ask them about the story.)
