5. Fork in the road
The fork is worth a drive-by to enjoy the rural scenery of central Kentucky. The base is stamped with “2018,” the year the high school class made the fork. It’s definitely the largest fork in the road in Kentucky — that makes it a must visit if you’re trying to stick a fork in your Fork-In-The-Road list. It’s a one-lane road in and out, so watch for oncoming traffic in the curves, and don’t get off the pavement.
