Raywick Travel Guide: 7 reviews and 5 photos

Raywick is a tiny burg of about 164 residents in 1999. ;) Anywho, my grandmother was from this area and my ancestors founded the town. There's really not anything to do here, and it's smack dab in the middle of Marion County, drug capitol of Kentucky. Ok, that withstanding, you may blink and miss this town! There are only a couple of buildings, and maybe a bar. Interestingly, the town had a huge article about it in the Louisville newspaper, The Courier-Journal, last year. There was a town photo, since they all could fit on the front page! It was sad to think that I was probably related to many of them, distantly of course.

If ANY of you are interested (and I'm sure none of you are), here is a link to the article:
