The Frankfort Home of George Graham Vest

As a Kentuckian (as they say, Born and Raised), I’m always fascinated when I hear of other Kentuckians leaving a mark on the world.  From Abraham Lincoln to Johnny Depp, I keep a mental list of famous Kentuckians.  Whether they were born here, raised here, or Born and Raised like me, I love to see the impact they make.  I’m sure everyone is the same, no matter what state they call home. 

I came across an interesting addition recently when I read about George Graham Vest.  While you may not know the name, I’m certain you’ll recognize his quote.  George Graham Vest was a US Senator who was raised in Kentucky.  Apparently he was quite a dog lover.  He’s the person who coined the phrase, “Dog is man’s best friend.”

If you find yourself in Frankfort (one of my favorite cities), be sure to tour his house at 401 Wapping Street.
