rabbit bash general store
The Rabbit Hash General Store looks untouched by both time and river waters. Its large front porch with roof overhang is the town's social focal point. A large painted sign welcomes visitors to the store itself, which still sells groceries and other staple items for local residents. As a major tourist attraction, however, the Rabbit Hash General Store features antiques, collectible Bybee pottery, hand-woven towels from Boston Weavers, brooms made at Berea College in Kentucky, hand-made soaps, wooden kitchen utensils, enamelware, and the necessary hats, shirts and postcards. Lots of delicious foods are offered as well, such as Mom Blackmans cream pull candy, Windstone Farm blackberry jam, shortbread wafers in tins, Lion coffee and Saponi Soaps handmade olive oil soaps.

The Rabbit Hash General Store is open every day from 10:00 in the morning until 7:00 at night. Visit our Contact Us page to get in touch.

In addition to the General Store, Rabbit Hash features the Rabbit Hash Museum, historic homes, and shops such as the Kentucky Huckster, which offers a variety of Appalachian crafts and quilts. Day-long riverboat cruises on the Ohio River to Rabbit hash are offered from Covington (directly across the river from downtown Cincinnati) by area sightseeing cruise operators such as BB Riverboats.

G'Day Y'all from Oz

By: Don F Trapnell on 08-11-2007 02:42

I had the pleasure of visiting your great little community and store about 3 weeks ago while on holidays from Australia. Friends of mine from Erlanger KY first introduced me to Rabbit Hash on my last visit to USA 3 years ago, so when I came back with my wife and elderly mother and Aunt right up on the agenda was a revisit to Rabbit Hash. 
 
Friendliness and a willingness to talk to strangers seems to be a way of life in Rabbit Hash and therefore the area's charm goes beyond the old buildings and weatherboards, but goes to the core of Kentucky hopitality. We were particularly struck by a box in one of the shops that said "Lunch Time. Put money here" and had an arrow pointing to a hole in the box. Oh, it also showed how to calculate you tax. I am pretty well travelled, but I have never seen anything like that before anywhere else in the world!  
 
I will be back. It might be a year or 4, but I will return.

Hi, All

By: Karen Borst on 08-22-2007 10:31

My Mother used to get the newspapers sent to her from Rabbit Hash, Ky. She went to school there & lived there. Then she moved & came to Colorado. She lived here till she died but she always went to Ky on visits & see everyone. I remember being there when I was young & seeing alot of people. There were & are relatives who still live there. I remember the General Store & the beauty of the place of just being there. I still have pictures of the place & someday hope to go back there for a visit again. There is aot of great history there. 
To all there God Bless always, 
Karen

General Store

I remember going in it & geting a bottle of Pop. I was young. I also have met some of the relatives there. In fact when we were there we were visiting my Grandfather Bluford William Clore who lived there & my Uncle.

Karen, 
 
We would certainly love to see you make a trip to Rabbit Hash. It probably hasn't changed that much since you were here last, that really is the beauty of it. Thanks for you comment!!!

Hello Don, 
 
I am glad to hear your trip home was a safe one. Also, glad the movie arrived... Wouldn't want you to miss out on seeing that fabulous film! It was really nice meeting you and your family. I agree with you about it being difficult to find places like Rabbit Hash. I believe it is truely unique. Take care and hope to see you again when you come back to the states.

Toy Fox Terriers

Father took us to the country when I was a wee lad to buy toy fox terriers. That dog raised me and made me the man I am today. Thank you.

Retraction

By: bongobat on 09-01-2007 22:02

Regarding my previous post, It was brought to my attention that it was indeed Wilder not Rabbit Hash where the Fox Terriers were purchased. I have been to Rabbit Hash in my younger days but for what I cannot remember.

Relatives

Hello.... 
 
Yes, there are many Ryles living in the area. Maybe you could contact the Rabbit Hash Historical Society for some history or call me at the store and I could tell you what I know. Good luck in your search.  
 
Rabbit Hash Historical Society webpage is: 
rabbithashusa.com 
 
Thanks.

Its been a few years since ive been to rabbits hatch, and still have fond memories and thoughts of such a heart warming place. i was lucky enough to have relatives living in kentucky and was most fortunate to have been given the opportunity of visiting. i come from wales in the uk,  
(even though its a very long wayto go) and thank my relatives for showing me one of the most unspoiled serene places i have ever been. thenk you.
