Pewee Valley is one of the older communities around Louisville, KY. It is most famous for being the home of author Annie Fellows Johnson. She wrote the series of books in the 1880's and 90's that were depicted in the Shirley Temple Movie "The Little Colonel". The other big attraction is the Confederate Cemetery at the end of Maple Avenue. About 300 CSA veterans are buried there. They were residents at the CSA Veterans Old Age Home that was in Pewee Valley back between 1890 and 1910. Every year on Confederate Memorial Day re-enactors gather to shoot cannons and sing Dixie. its streets are mostly shaded with large Maple and Oak trees, and the homes are a mixture of early farmhouse Americana and new homes.

There is a bed and breakfast with Kentucky Race Horses called the Round-House Farm. Pretty nice.

Great place to take walks.
