St. Mary's College: my home for 4 years

The front entrance to the Seminary. In those days it was called: St. Mary's College. There were over 300 seminarians living here at the time, coming from all over the USA. It was a terrific visit, after 44yrs. It would have been nice to share the visit with someone but it wasn't possible.

By the way, this Seminary is now a Kentucky State Prison facility.

The guard at the gate told me I couldn't park the car and look arond nor take pictures. Oops!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


The drive into the Seminary (prison now) grounds. Vast farming area. In the days I attneded the Seminary here it was also a huge Milk farm, cows everywhere and a few bulls too! It was a way for the priests there to make money to help with the costs of the Seminary.

We often referred to this area as the "S" Curve. The road turned here, yes, in a sort of "S" shape. This was also the farthest we were able to go on our walks on the grounds.
