This clip features some of the major sites in Kentucky, including the Lincoln Birthplace Monument, the Jefferson Davis Monument, Stephen Foster’s home, and the State Capitol in Frankfort.The clip opens on a slow pan of a river and the land along it. Next there is a shot of the facade of a mansion, then some people gathering on the lawn for mint juleps. An old man takes a long sip of his beverage. There is a shot of a statue of Abraham Lincoln, then of the Lincoln Birthplace Monument with many steps leading up to it. Tilt up of the Jefferson Davis Memorial (looks awfully similar to the Washington Monument in Washington, D.C.). Slow pan of the house where Stephen Foster wrote “My Old Kentucky Home”, then a shot of another facade of the house. Shot of the Kentucky Capitol building in Frankfort.
