WHY VISIT THE BLUEGRASS

“Lexington, Kentucky looks like paradise. Acres of grass as green and tender as a golf course putting green surround hilltop mansions. New Circle Road–a beltway enveloping the city’s heartland like a moat–attempts to separate the wealthy landowners from the encroaching strip centers and fast-food joints that are symbolic of the rest of the state …. Combining the traditional feelings of Southerners with the uniquely gorgeous landscape of the bluegrass, Lexingtonians consider themselves and their region the cream of the crop–not only of Kentucky, but also of the nation.” ― Sally Denton, The Bluegrass Conspiracy

LEXINGTON KY

The Horse Capital of the World

Famous for legendary horse farms, historic bourbon distilleries and scenic drives through pastoral landscapes, Kentucky’s Bluegrass Region showcases the natural bounty of our state with charm and genuine Southern hospitality.

Lexington, the Horse Capital of the World, offers a vibrant mix of charming neighborhoods, breweries and distilleries, historic sites and farm-to-table cuisine. Here you can visit the childhood home of Mary Todd Lincoln, watch a race at the elegant Keeneland Race Course and interact with nearly 50 breeds of horses at the amazing Kentucky Horse Park.
