The 1946 "Boothies"' trip

[L Verge]

Our Booth Tours no longer go into the town of Bowling Green since Miss Maude Motley, owner of the sacred piece of Booth's crutch, passed away years ago. The town is about eight or so miles from the Garrett Farm, and the Star Hotel (where Jett was trapped) no longer exists. The time element on our trips is a big factor, and to not see anything there anymore is not worth the extra half-hour down and back. With the by-pass now going around the town, I don't know how much commercial life there is left on the old streets.
