Please enjoy these photographs taken in Nicholasville, Kentucky, of the childhood home and tombstone of Dr. Lena Madesin Phillips.
Nicholasville, about twelve miles southwest of Lexington, is probably not much bigger than it was in Dr. Phillips' time, still a very pleasant place with a small-town atmosphere.
