Nina Ridge (pronounced Ny-nah) is a community near Lancaster in rural Garrard County, Kentucky.... very rural Garrard County. My grandparents own a small country store here. The original store was an old school built around 1911. Unfortunately, a devastating fire in February 2004 destroyed the original building. My family rebuilt the store themselves, no contractors. We are now back in business! Although I doubt many people plan vacations in this area, if you do, stop by and enjoy the scenery, food, and local residents. Believe it or not, the residents of The Ridge include published authors, international criminal justice experts, sociologists, winery owners, horse breeders, Harley bikers, war (WW II, Korea, Vietnam, Desert Storm, Iraq/Afghanistan) heroes and many colorful local farmers. This is one place where you're likely to see an old man wearing overalls carrying a cell phone in his bib. |
