The fort at Boonesborough Ky is now a replica with living history actors, wonderful...but it is a replica. Conversely, if you walk about a half mile down towards the Cumberland River you stumble upon this ancient cemetery...so old that virtually all the hand writing carved in granite is gone, washed away in the winds and rains and snows of centuries of time.

Even more distinct is the sense as you wander further into the Cemetery the stones, once worthy, eventually become just bare nubbins sticking out of the ground...it is odd to see time in written stone so obviously melt in a long passing of years...

This was, I note, hard to find and with no walking path or trail...or historical marker of any kind.
I got here trying to find the original site of where the Fort might logically be.
