Fire in Rabbit Hash, Kentucky

[Yama Mama]

Sadly, the general store in Rabbit Hash, Kentucky was completely destroyed last night by a fire which evidently started from the pot belly stove.

I know many of you who live in the area have ridden there. It was a unique place. Ron and I loved to ride there at least once a year, especially for Old Timer's Day around Labor Day each year.

 

I am sure they will rebuild, but it cannot ever be the same as it was.

Prayers Up and Blessings Down for the owners, I am sure they have to be grief stricken.. Also hoping and praying no one was injured..

Definitely a sad thing to hear about..

I am sure they will rebuild that was a great place for a stop when in the area. The same thing happened to one of the good spots here in WV. It is called Cool Springs Park. They built it back up and if you didn't know it burnt you would not know it.

The store is owned by the Rabbit Hash, Kentucky Historic Society and they have vowed to rebuild, although many antiques were lost forever as was pointed out. There is, I believe, a Facebook site to contribute if you wish. As a model railroader, I think there was an HO model of it at some point. If anyone knows anything about it, please let me know.....Peace.............
