Limestone Park is at the eastern edge of the historic downtown area, with statues of Buffalo that used to cross the Ohio River seeking salt licks. Nearby is the access through the flood wall to the Ohio River boat landing. Occasionally river boat cruises on the Ohio River, dock for a day, and tourists depart to tour the historic downtown area.

My sister and I stayed at Moon River while we toured the historical sites of the area which are plentiful. Anyone interested in the history of this great nation should visit Maysville and the surrounding villages. Our room was spacious, our bed very comfortable, our host, Denny, Gave us good information and was very pleasant to talk to. Moon River is just a block from everything. You could not have a better location. We hope to return someday.
