Old Talbott Tavern

(#711) from Kentucky Life Program 711 (2001)

Owners John and Betty Kelly share footage of the fire that nearly destroyed Bardstown’s historic Old Talbott Tavern in 1998 and talk about how it has been restored and updated. The first stagecoach stop west of the Alleghenies, the tavern welcomed 19th-century guests ranging from royal entourages to Abraham Lincoln to Jesse James.
