#Abandoned #Urbex #StoneTavern Bell’s Tavern, Kentucky Eleven years ago to the month, I was on a trip with Snowman the younger and we came across this abandoned stone building near the Mammoth Cave in Kentucky. Naturally, we took a closer look and got some photos. This summer, 2021, while on our way to my niece's wedding in Chicago, we got the chance to come back for a second visit! This time we brought my daughter and daughter-in-law along for the ride. My boy got some drone footage, and I shot some video to tell what I remembered of the story of the tavern.

Free parking, and nobody questioned why we were wandering around. I guess we blended in well enough with the locals.
