HOW DO I GET THERE??The convention will be in the Lake Cumberland State Park Lodge. The address is 5465 State Park Road, Jamestown, KY 42629."Google" told me to take U.S. Highway 127 from Russell Springs through Jamestown on through the village of Freedom to State Park Road. This road will lead us to the Park Lodge. If coming from the south, you will still have to enter the Park road from U.S.127.
