Here in Your Bourbon Destination™ and the American Saddlebred Capital of the World, you’ll find authentic Kentucky: a pioneering spirit, rural character, and a hometown feel. It’s the small-town charm of Shelbyville, Simpsonville, and Shelby County, combined with grand-scale shopping and rolling pastureland with plenty to do. Go antiquing. Play a round of golf. Visit the wineries. Dine at locally owned eateries – including one created by Colonel Sanders for his wife. Take in a play. Attend a festival. And do what you can only do in Shelby County: tour an American Saddlebred Horse Farm in the place where the breed began.

Please allow 2-4 weeks for delivery, and then let the planning begin!
