Things to do in Kentucky, United States: The Best Art Galleries

April 8, 2022 Weston Hennigan

Famous for Bourbon Country and horse farms, civil war battlefields and beautiful natural parks, Kentucky offers a delightful mix of experiences. You might begin in Lexington, where the 1200-acre Kentucky Horse Park is a popular attraction. The university adds exciting sports, impressive art and a vibrant student/professor population to the city. Louisville is similar, where renowned Churchill Downs hosts the annual Kentucky Derby and the Belle of Louisville, the nation’s oldest steam-driven river paddlewheeler, hosts enchanting lunch and dinner cruises along the beautiful Ohio River. Next, head south to visit Mammoth Cave National Park for a day of touring the cave (the world’s longest known cave), hiking and canoeing on the Green River. Paducah, Berea, Bowling Green – so many places to explore and enjoy!

Kentucky Artisan Center at Berea

Reviewed By LovesToTravel31 - Rocky River, United States

This is by far the best “rest area” ever. About 1/2 mile off I-75 south of Lexington. It’s exceptionally clean, with a staffed information desk, nice bathrooms, and a great selection of local arts and craft items for sale. There’s also a cafe that offers very reasonably priced hot meals, as well as snacks and drinks, with both indoor and outdoor seating. We’ll definitely stop here again the next time we’re driving through.

Reviewed By bradwN9107IR - Winchester, United States

My wife and I stopped in here today on a tour of downtown Midway. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. The gallery is in a gorgeous old building with lots of historical charm. The art ranged from very cute and well-made artisanal jewelry, all the way up to expensive canvas paintings. Whether or not you buy anything here will depend on personal taste, and potentially the size of your checkbook, but it is well worth a visit just to look around if you're in the area.
