Explore The Bluegrass State M

any associate Kentucky with green hills and horse farms, but locals know the brilliant fall colors offer one of the best times to explore the Bluegrass state.

Kentucky State Parks allow travelers the perfect getaway when the crisp air takes over, with cozy cottages, trailblazing hikes and breathtaking views. Pine Mountain State Resort Park, nestled in eastern Kentucky, places guests at one of the highest points in the region to overlook the changing colors. Parks are spread throughout the state so travelers are never far from an overnight that offers adventure right outside of their door. Another unique spot to enjoy the fall temperatures is Shaker Village of Pleasant Hill, recently designated as a founding member of Discovery Destinations. Stay on the 3,000-acre property dedicated to hands-on experiences and exploration with engaging programming and plenty of room for relaxation. Enjoy hikes, paddles down the Kentucky River, bird watching and much more all while staying in one of the 13 restored Shaker buildings. As fall and winter temperatures settle in, there is no better way to warm up than with a true “Kentucky hug” – also known as the warm feeling you receive after a sip of bourbon. Kentucky is responsible for 95 percent of the world’s bourbon and the historic distilleries allow travelers to walk through for a first-hand look at the history and making. This time of year offers guests wonderful views of the land and historic buildings, plus unique tours by candlelight at select distilleries. This is also the time of year where everyone bustles around looking for the perfect holiday gift. Set yourself apart this year by visiting Berea, Kentucky for a thoughtful gift the receiver will cherish. Berea is a thriving community of talented artisans, ranging from wood working to jewelry making and even glass blowing. These artists offer workshops yearround, but their Make it, Take it, Gift it lineup gives shoppers a chance to hand-make their present with those who have perfected the craft. While in Berea, make sure to stay at the Historic Boone Tavern and enjoy one of their warm meals, with a delicious heaping of spoon bread. Event lineups are full in Kentucky so that everyone can easily get in the spirit. For those interested in fall fun, Louisville’s Jack-O-Lantern Spectacular boasts over 5,000 carved pumpkins leading the way through an unbelievable ¼-mile walk. Interested in carving your own? Visit Evan’s Orchard in Georgetown or Jackson’s Orchard in Bowling Green to pick your pumpkin. As winter draws in, don’t miss the world’s only underground light show at Mega Caverns in Louisville or Lexington’s favorite Southern Lights at the Kentucky Horse Park. So whether you are looking for fall views or holiday fun, Kentucky has something for everyone this time of year. Enjoy the crisp air, take in the beautiful views and enjoy Kentucky’s offerings.

places to go Cadiz If you took a step back in time and walked downtown Main Street before the late 1800’s and early 1900’s, you would find the same buildings dominating the city. After all these years the important elements of the city and county landscape still remain. The present day courthouse, completed in 1922 stands today, both serving as a center of county government and a witness to times past. Buildings built before we were born are reminiscent of days gone by, and yet they remain the basic building blocks of the city and its landscape.

Central City Are you looking to re-locate or vacation in a peaceful, friendly, “just the right size town?” If so, visit Central City, Kentucky, where small town hospitality abounds, a rich musical heritage originates, and an eclectic environment supplies your every need!

Places to go Bowling Green During the Civil War, Bowling Green was the Confederate Capital of Kentucky and now is known as the Corvette Capital of the world. Its historic downtown dates back to 1798. Some points of interest are The Corvette Museum and Kentucky Museum which showcases much of Kentucky’s history through photographs, manuscripts, and artifacts; as well as, an original log home decorated with authentic 1830’s furnishings. The community was originally settled at the juncture of the Cumberland River and the South Fork River. It was called Point Isabele, the town was renamed for General Ambrose Burnside who established a camp there during the war. A sign at the edge of town declares Burnside “Birthplace of Boy Scouts of America”, and an official state historical society marker commemorates the troop. In 2005, Burnside became the only town in Pulaski County to allow the sale of alcoholic beverages by the drink in qualified establishments. Since then, Burnside annexed several miles of shoreline along Lake Cumberland in order to include Lee’s Ford Marina, allowing it to sell alcohol. 49
