OBSCURIST TOURIST 121 - The historic Wigwam Village No. 2 in Cave City, Kentucky, has offered travelers and back-road explorers a unique sleeping experience for over 80 years. The second of two Wigwam Villages in Kentucky was built in 1937, when Americans were just beginning to discover the joys and excitement of the road trip, the Cave City Wigwam Village became a popular stop on long trips north and south. Even Eleanor Roosevelt wrote about it in one of her daily newspaper columns. Imagine driving along a two-lane country road when suddenly up ahead you see Wigwam Village’s white teepees and distinct neon sign - “Sleep And Eat In A Wigwam.” Today, this fantastical sight still lures motorists to pull over and stay a night or at least stop for a photo or two.
Come along as I explore the grounds of this historic motel.
