Twin Tunnels is an interesting piece of Morgan
County history. Before the age of sophisticated road systems,
Wrigley, KY served as on of the largest train depots in Eastern
Kentucky. When plans were made to lay the train tracks, the easiest
route was straight through a giant rock. Because of the way the
creek ran originally, there were two tunnels created. One to re-route
the creek below and one above for the train to actually run through.
The train age has since come and gone but, the road still runs
over part of the original train route including straight through
the old tunnel.
