Kentucky’s Governor Gave Away a Historic State Park, For Free, to a Church | Hemant Mehta | Friendly Atheist | Patheos
Boone Station State Historic Site was a 46-acre park in Kentucky commemorating the place where legendary pioneer Daniel Boone lived for a few years starting in 1779. It’s not all that exciting — just a lot of open space, really — but around 1992, a man named Robert C. Strader donated the land to the state of Kentucky with the desire to have it turned into a historical site. If that didn’t happen within 15 years, then he wanted to land to be given to his church.
It soon turned into a state park. Success!...
