We visit the graves of

AND
Mohammad Ali, formerly known as Cassius Clay, world champion boxer and was known for being a humanitarian and philanthropist donating millions to charity organizations and disadvantaged people of all religious backgrounds. It is estimated that Ali helped feed more than 22 million people afflicted by hunger worldwide.
Lastly, we tour the KENTUCKY RAILWAY MUSEUM, Trains, and shop. The Kentucky Railway Museum owes its beginning to a small number of rail enthusiasts who formed a local chapter of the National Railway Historical Society in 1948. In the early 1950s, the Chapter asked the Louisville and Nashville Railroad for the donation of a steam locomotive to form the nucleus of a railway museum.
The museum was officially chartered in 1954 and with the donation of steam locomotive #152, leased six acres of land on River Road, opening to the public on Memorial Day, 1958.
