If you haven’t been to this cool museum located right next to the courthouse in Monticello KY you must go see! There is tons of historic value and even a cave system in the basement! There is a historic carriage that they used to let travelers take photos inside, but I heard they were thinking of taking it out! Please keep the carriage and let travelers get back inside history! Tons of artifacts and knowledge about the limestone waterways, dams, battles, and hotel history! One of Monticello’s best kept secrets! All the people that we met at this museum are cheerful and have excellent customer service! We had the pleasure of meeting LaVonne and she gave us a world class tour! Thank you to all the employees of the Wayne County Museum!

I've been here twice; once in summer and once in winter. It's not really open in the winter, but judging by the tracks in the snow when I went, plenty of people stop by anyway. There is street parking available at the historic house by the road, and stairs that lead down to main parking lot and mill area. It's a lovely place for a picnic lunch and a little history. There are a number of waterfalls coming down in the same area, and of course the big mill and water wheel. You can walk down to the river's edge (which I didn't do) or out to the point and look out over the Cumberland River, where there is also a historic cannon. There are lots of picnic spots. And if you time it right, you can get a tour of the mill and watch it work. There are lots of steps! It's not for someone with trouble walking.
