Only in its 4th year, the annual “1-Lap of Kentucky” tours have become so popular that it sells out quickly. As a part of the Museum in Motion program the 1-Lap is a unique partnership between the National Corvette Museum and the Kentucky State Police. The two organizations join together to raise money for both the Museum and Trooper Island, a KSP non-profit camp for underprivileged children. Each year the Tour explores a different section of Kentucky. The previous Tours visited western KY including the Land Between the Lakes and Owensboro, traveled the Bourbon Trail and Horse Country and most recently explored the sites and traditions of eastern Kentucky including mining camps, Trooper Island and the Artisan Center of Berea KY. Planning is underway for 2013 but we can promise unique and interesting experiences based on the recent Kentucky Tourism campaign “There is just one of….” In addition to those unique tourist locations we plan to take the tour to some places that are generally not open to the public to make this a truly memorable experience.
As always the tour will be led by a Kentucky State Policeman, now using a marked red Corvette which is sure to attract attention as the caravan travels through an area of real Americana.
In 2012 we had to add a second tour group as the demand for this tour grew. We are planning to run this tour twice in October 2013 but have not set the dates at this time. |
