Frankfort

Kentucky’s capital city is the fourth smallest state capital in the United States, yet those interested in the Commonwealth’s history will find ample opportunities to engage for several days.

Frankfort’s designation as the capital was debated from 1792 until 1904, when the legislature confirmed funding for the new capitol structure.

A visit to the New Capitol Building is essential, in addition to the state museum, the Old Capitol, and Frankfort Cemetery, which overlooks the Kentucky River from its elevated bluffs.

It’s important to remember that you are in bourbon country, featuring three distilleries, including America’s oldest active distillery, Buffalo Trace, which has been operational for around 250 years and continued its operations during Prohibition.
