Welcome to Bourbon Country. This picture is from Bernheim Forest, just one of the local amenities here. This area is pretty convenient to major expressways while offering the small town county feels. Louisville is right up 65 if you want to visit the bigger city. I highly recommend the people, places & things here. I'm a Louisville native but very familiar with Bardstown & would love to show you around!
