If you've enjoyed the companionship of a bourbon or two in
your day, you'll want to head to Clermont and Jim Beam's American
Outpost, I-64 south to exit 112, 502-543-9877, where you can
watch a film about bourbon, then sample free lemonade and bourbon
candies. Before you head out of town, nature lovers will want
to wander throught the Bernheim
Arboretum and Research Forest, State Hwy 245, 502-955-8512.
An 80-mile drive south of Louisville will take you to the
Mammoth Cave National Park, I-65 to route 70, 270-758-2251. Here
you can take a 2-hour historical walking tour or if you're feeling
really fit tackle the 6-hour cave tour.
History buffs won't want to leave the area without making
the 45-mile drive to Hodgenville, US 31 east, and Abraham Lincoln's
Birthplace. Here you will see the small log cabin where he was
born along with a film about his life in Kentucky. Another stop
you'll want to make is the Patton Museum at Fort Knox, south
of Louisville on Dixie Highway.
Railroaders will find lots to smile about in the area. First
head to Corydon, IN, and the Corydon Scenic Railroad, 210 W Walnut
St, 812-738-8000, where you can hop aboard a 1930s restored passenger
car for a 16 mile round trip excursion. Another stop you'll want
to make is the Kentucky Railroad Museum, 136 S Main St, New Haven,
KY, 502-549-5470, 800-272-0152, which features a museum and 22
mile train ride.
