We spent most of the day today (Tuesday) in Berea, KY. Berea is about 35 miles south of Lexington and is an arts and crafts town. It’s full of artisans who are happy to talk about their work and happy to give a demonstration of how they make their craft.
At the visitor’s center we ran into one of the attorney’s who works in Barb’s office. Small World!
Berea College was originally set up for blacks in the south in the 1800’s to help them learn a trade. Today, the college is a liberal arts college where every students receive a full ride, providing they work 10-15 hours in addition to their full time class work. It’s a small town, has an easy feel to it and seemed easy to get around.
