Harrodsburg, KY
Sitting
amidst four National Register Historic Districts in the heart of Kentucky’s
famed Bluegrass region, Kentucky’s
oldest town is one of the coolest places in history. Harrodsburg is
full of the unexpected: Ten bourbon distilleries, four craft distilleries
and more than a dozen wineries are a short drive away. There are horseback
riding trails, backroads and byways for bicycle enthusiasts, and outdoor
water sports from kayaking to skiing. Shaker Village of Pleasant Hill,
America’s largest restored Shaker community and a founding member of Discovery
Destinations, a collection of distinct, independent destination properties,
and Beaumont Inn, the state’s oldest family-operated country inn, are here.
Commemorating the first permanent settlement west of the Allegheny Mountains
is Old Fort Harrod State Park with full-scale replica fort. Providing an
up-close view of one of the most unique ecosystems in the country, the
geologically ancient Kentucky River Palisades, is the authentic 115-passenger
Dixie
Belle sternwheeler. Harrodsburg is one of “the 10 Most Beautiful Towns
in Kentucky” (TheCultureTrip.com); one of Best Choice Reviews’ “50 Best
Small Town Downtowns in America”; Smithsonian Magazine’s “20 Best
