Lexington Travel Guide
Welcome to Lexington, KY!
As the home of Kentucky Horse Park, Keeneland Race Course, Red Mile Harness Track and several other horse-related attractions and associations, Lexington has earned the title of Horse Capital of the World. Despite Lexington's growing urban sprawl, effort has been made to preserve the city's horse farms and scenic Bluegrass region landscape, which remain major draws for visitors. Historic sites, museums, performing arts venues, antique shops and eclectic dining options are among the other features that beckon travelers to Lexington. Browse local art exhibits at Artsplace, see the largest collection of Saddlebred artifacts in the world at the American Saddlebred Museum, tour the bottling operations at Alltech's Lexington Brewing Company, titillate the senses at the Lexington Cemetery and Arboretum or learn about the city's affluent and high-cultured past at the 1814 Hunt-Morgan House. Civil War buffs should be sure to visit the reconstructions and historic sites located in the nearby communities of Harrodsburg, Perryville, and Nicholasville.
