The Serenity of the Nature

John James Audubon

John James Audobon was born in what is now Haiti in 1785 on his father' s sugar plantation.  He was raised in France and the family immegrated in 1805.  From his earliest days he an affinity for birds.  His major worof color plates was titled The Birds of America .  


 John James Audobon State Park is located in Henderson, Kentucky.  It's just south of the Ohio River.  It is inspired by John James Audobon, who resided there from 1810-1819.  It has a wonderful museum with some of Audobon's wonderful works. 

 It is said that this state park will be in the path of totality of the 2024 total solar eclipse.  It is a quiet place of reflection.  A place of beauty and serentiy.  I'm grateful that I live so close to the park.
