On this episode of Kentucky Life, host Chip Polston visits Wickliffe Mounds, a Native American archaeological site; gets tangled in kudzu, known as ‘the vine that ate the south’ because it is so invasive; examines the history of Charles Young from Mays Lick who overcame barriers and became a military leader and overall renaissance man; and celebrates the 127-year-old Monte Casino Chapel, which may be small in stature, but more than makes up for its size in history.
