I live in GA and am headed to Lexington in a few weeks to a football game. Going through the Corbin area. Is the museum open on Saturday?

I do not know the hours. I am sure that information is available on-line.

hey , i solved kfc recipe , your 'CHILI tang' is bogus. Its reallys CHILI TONG , short for CHILI TONGUE , which is slang for DEVILS TONGUE PEPPERS , also when dried and powdered is a form of chili powder. also the spice you say cumin isn't it, the spice is again a slang and has 2 i 's , begins with c and ends in o, i work hard to figure this recipe out and i won't tell everything but i did make it easy to figure out. if your smart that is... i am CANADIAN
