Travelers on nearby I-65 are encouraged to stop in any day.  (You’re in Kentucky; why not see some horses?) On bad weather days or major holidays, it’s a good idea to call first. ​

Outdoor Murals 

Eight detailed, realistic murals are painted on a 200 foot long highway retaining wall built along US Highway 31W at I-65 Exit 2, adjacent to the Simpson county Tourism Commission's office and welcome center.
The murals depict scenes from 200 years of Simpson County history.  An underlying theme linking the painting is the changing modes of transportation along the "Louisville to Nashville Pike". Horse-drawn carriages, Civil war steeds, train locomotives, mules, farm wagons, automobiles, pickup trucks, school buses, tractor trailers and recreational vehicles - each in turn had a role to play in the development of this major national north-south highway.
