We found this quaint little place and thoroughly enjoyed talking with the owners/potters and looking around the gallery. They gave us a very interesting demonstration of what they do. We found several things we had to bring home and will probably either go back or order some pieces from them again. Gorgeous pottery!

Visitors are welcome to explore our gallery and watch our glass blowers pull 2000 degree glass from the furnace and coax it into unique creations.

Friendly staff and artisan. Amazing glass blown handiwork. Absolutely beautiful. Sadly no glass blowing was being done the day we visited, but we enjoyed looking around, talking to the glass blower and shop keeper and seeing the glass blowing workshop. The glasswork is amazing. So many beautiful items. I found a beautiful unique gift for a friend.

This is by far the best “rest area” ever. About 1/2 mile off I-75 south of Lexington. It’s exceptionally clean, with a staffed information desk, nice bathrooms, and a great selection of local arts and craft items for sale. There’s also a cafe that offers very reasonably priced hot meals, as well as snacks and drinks, with both indoor and outdoor seating. We’ll definitely stop here again the next time we’re driving through.

This area has been a go to since I was a little girl. With lots of trees, butterflies, mushrooms, turtles, and other small animals, the environment is always thriving. These hikes are moderate, varying in times and lengths to complete. This is a popular nature spot in Berea and is recommended for any outdoor lover. I recommend good hiking shoes, and bringing along water as any of these trails are sure to get your heart pumping. The best views are found upon the Indian fort lookout, and the East pinnacle. Dogs are welcome, but leashes are highly appreciated. Enjoy, stay safe, & respect your surroundings ????
