The project was built primarily upon the 2008 Kentucky Outdoor Recreation Participation and Sat- isfaction Survey conducted by Dr. Charlie Everett and Alin L. Tose of Eastern Kentucky University. A special thanks to the Kentucky Recreation and Park Society for gathering many of the photos found throughout the SCORP from Asbury College Adventure Programs, photographer Betty Smithart, Lexington-Fayette County Parks and Recreation Department, Louisville Metro Parks, and Kentucky State Parks. Other photographs are courtesy of the Kentucky Department of Travel (www.kentuckytoursim.com), Kentucky Office of Creative Services, and photographer David Nayes. Additional thanks to Dr. Bruce A. Larson, Dr. Fred Gibson and Dr. Raymond Poff at Western Kentucky University for compiling much useful data about local park and recreation departments through the Kentucky Recreation and Park Services Study. The assistance of the members of the Land and Water Conservation Fund State Advisory Commit- tee and the Recreational Trails Program Advisory Committee has been much appreciated. Finally, many other citizens across the state contributed some portion of their time to respond thoughtfully to survey research questions.

Schlarb With Contributions by: C. Brian Mabelitini Emanuel Breitburg Rick Burdin Jack Rossen Wesley D.

The early Fort Ancient component is represented by Jessamine Series ceramic and Type 2 Fine Triangular projectile points, while the late Fort Ancient component is represented by Madisonville series ceramics, Type 4 and Type 6 Fine Triangular projectile points, and unifacial and bifacial endscrapers. The presence of a marginella shell bead and mica fragments reflect long distance interaction with groups living to the south, and the recovery of a glass bead and a copper bead points to interaction with Europeans. Based on the presence of intact subplowzone deposits associated with both components, and the recovery of human remains, the Howard site is eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places.

  • Kentucky Vacations in Your Own Backyard
    Kentucky Vacations in your own Backyard Today there are more than 50 Kentucky state parks, including Resort Parks that feature lodges, cottages, restaurants, campgrounds and trails for hiking, horseback riding and mountain biking. There are Historic Sites that tell about Kentucky’s history from prehistoric times to the days of the Civil War, Native Americans and the early pioneers. Many of these historic locations have museums or historic buildings that make great places for family visits. Recreation Parks feature campgrounds, picnic areas, swimming areas and trails. One park is an Interstate Park, shared with the Commonwealth of Virginia. State Parks are parks or protected areas managed by the states. Usually they are established to preserve a location because of its natural beauty, historic interest or recreation potential. The development of state parks in the United States generally paralleled the development of the U.S. national parks. The oldest state park in the United States is Niagara Falls, established in 1885. The first U.S. National Park was Yellowstone, established in 1872. Until the development of parks in the United States, the great areas of land with natural beauty and historic significance had only been set aside for the wealthy, such as kings and noblemen. National parks and state parks reserved the lands for everyone. The parks movement began in the United States and has since been accepted and copied throughout the world. During WW I, visits in Europe were closed to tourists from the United States and other countries. The theme, “See America First,” was promoted as never before and concentrated on the beauty of the American landscape, especially those in the western states.
