Message: [QUOTE="KY Card Fan, post: 4315057, member: 9787"] Here are a few suggestions from a life-long Kentuckian: [LIST] [*]Glad you're doing the bourbon trail. You'll experience some of the "horse country" while doing that. I would suggest a tour of a horse farm. Three favorites are Jonabell in Lexington, Three Chimneys in Versailles and Claiborne in Paris. The Claiborne tour includes a visit to Secretariat's grave - he was the G.O.A.T. [*]Midway is a town in the "horse country" with an interesting downtown that's easy walking. Wallace Station in Midway is a great place for an outdoor lunch if the weather is favorable. [*]In Louisville, take a tour of Churchill Downs. Try to get Barry Northern as your guide. [*]West Main Street in downtown Louisville is home to the KFC Yum Center. It is also home to the Hillerich & Bradsby factory and museum, where Louisville Slugger baseball bats have been made since 1884. H&B offers a nice tour. [*]Also downtown is the Muhammad Ali Center. Well worth a visit. [*]The Belle of Louisville, built in 1914, is one of the few authentic steamboats left in America. It cruises upriver from the downtown wharf and provides a relaxing option. [*]Waterfront Botanical Gardens in Louisville is relatively new and is not yet complete. It's a good spot for a walk on a nice day. [*]Cave Hill Cemetery a couple miles east of downtown is another great place for a walk. It is beautifully landscaped, there are lots of birds, and you can visit the graves of Muhammad Ali, Colonel Sanders of KFC fame, and the two sisters who wrote the "Happy Birthday" song. [*]Louisville is deservedly known as a "foodie" city. There are lots of great independent restaurants. I have too many favorites to list here but would be glad to offer an opinion based on the cuisine that interests you. [/LIST] [/QUOTE]
