Historic Building Gutted By Fire In Rabbit Hash, Kentucky

The residents of this small Kentucky town who worked for decades to preserve the historic buildings of this river town are already planning to rebuild their iconic Rabbit Hash General Store after it burned to the ground Saturday. In its approximately 185 years in existence, the clapboard store on Lower River Road in Boone County, Ky., withstood all manner of threats — multiple floods, landslides and the Great Depression, to name a few. Through it all, the store and its recognizable front facade remained an unmistakable landmark in Northern Kentucky culture.
