My Bernheim Story: Kathy Crawford

Kathy Crawford and her husband pictured at Bernheim back when they were still dating.

Bernheim is woven into the fabric of my life as surely as is the hill where I was born and raised. My family has been regular visitors since my childhood and is now being enjoyed by the 5th generation of our family. Many happy memories happened there, including our courtship. Bernheim is where we realized ours wasn’t  puppy love, and in a couple of years when we have our 50th anniversary we hope to renew our vows there. My mom often said if heaven was only as beautiful as Bernheim she would do everything she could to get there. Thank you for keeping the beauty of the place as you continue to bring it to a new generation.

-Kathy Crawford, Leitchfield, KY
