Thanx so much Paddy, and Joe for bringing this to us.    VERY interesting and unique historical findings at The Buffalo.    I wonder who will get the chance see this in person?     I'd sure like that opportunity.

Thanks for sharing that... I absolutely love that kind of stuff!!

 

The history that creates the backdrop behind the bourbon we all enjoy is just fascinating to me. All the characters and old distilleries and intertwined stories are a cherry on top of my bourbon sundae!!!
