    FRANKFORT, Ky. (FOX 56) — Most drivers on U.S. 60 near Versailles speed right past three historical markers that stand side by side. At 55 miles per hour, there’s no chance to read about the tomb of one of the city’s founders or get details on how hemp boosted the local economy in the 1840s. But Dr. Jim Seaver of the Kentucky Historical Society knows there are people who will get a glimpse and go to a database later to find out what those markers are all about.

    LOUISVILLE, Ky. (FOX 56) — Some people say the three keys to a successful business are location, location, and location. It’s not everything, but it is a big thing for Wagner’s Pharmacy, a diner and gift shop that sits on South Fourth Street, across the street from Churchill Downs. It’s just steps away from the entrance to the infield. “We get a front seat to one of the greatest tracks in the world!” owner Lee Wagner III said.

    LEXINGTON, Ky. (FOX 56) — People driving on Military Pike in southwestern Fayette County shouldn’t be so noisy when passing Winter Quarter Farm. There are babies asleep in the fields and other newborns trying to focus on their mothers. At farms all over the Bluegrass, foals will be born at a rapid pace in April and May. “Every birth is very exciting, and to see these young foals running around, it’s just the promise,” said Don Robinson, owner and manager at Winter Quarter Farm.
