Stop 4 of 6
Kentucky Vietnam Veterans Memorial
365 Vernon Cooper Lane
Frankfort, KY 40601
Constructed in 1988 to overlook the state Capitol in Frankfort, the Kentucky Vietnam Veterans Memorial honors Kentucky Veterans who served this nation during the Vietnam War. Each Veteran's name is precisely engraved on the blue-gray granite so the shadow of the sundial pointer touches their name on the anniversary of their death. Thus, each individual is honored with a personal tribute.
Stop 6 of 6
The Lexington Distillery District
1170 Manchester Street
Lexington, Kentucky 40508
This 25-acre property was home to the historic James E. Pepper Distillery, which began making bourbon in 1879. However, in 1958 the site was abandoned completely, untouched for nearly 50 years. Fortunately, in 2008 local entrepreneurs teamed up to bring this area back to its former glory and they did not disappoint. Since then, this revitalized piece of Lexington history has become a lively downtown destination.
