Top 10 Libraries in Kentucky, United States
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!

My wife took me here as a birthday surprise to research family that I had suspected being involved in the American Revolution. The people that work here are fantastic and were extremely helpful in pointing me in the right direction and showing me how to use the genealogy searches they have on the computer. The “Library” they have is VERY impressive and any information they have about family heritage and genealogy is the best I’ve ever seen. To be honest, I had NO IDEA this place existed and is 45 minutes from my house! I will be back soon to do more research and fill out the forms associated with my family history to prove that my 7th Great Uncle was in fact a 2nd Lieutenant in the American Revolution. I recommend this place to ANYONE who is serious about their family heritage and love to do historical research. I could spend hours and hours in this place!
