What can we say about a state that's famous for fried chicken more than anything else? Well, probably to mention that when it comes to horses & Bourbon, Kentucky is very famous too. Bardstown, Kentucky is the Bourbon capital of the world. The Kentucky Derby is held in Louisville each year, and there is almost anything equine you can imagine near Lexington & Versailles - and throughout the rest of the state. Plus, Kentucky is beautiful!
The state has also has the longest recorded cave system in the world with more than 336 miles explored and mapped, in Mammoth Cave, the birthplace of Abraham Lincoln, near Hodgenville, a big chunk of the Big South Fork - an excellent area for recreational activities and the Cumberland Gap, located where the borders of Tennessee, Kentucky, and Virginia meet. Carved by wind and water, Cumberland Gap forms a major break in the formidable Appalachian Mountain chain and it was the first and best avenue for the settlement of the interior of the United States.
The cities of Frankfort and Louisville are good places to start exploring the variety of things to see and do in the state of Kentucky.
