People go to the Western Region to get refreshed and energized. Thousands of acres of lakes in which to boat, swim or fish; an abundance of natural trails on which to hike and watch nature; world famous barbecue to eat, and the birthplace of Bluegrass music.

In this region of Kentucky, horses rule. From the horse farms, where the foals are born, raised and trained, to Keeneland and Churchill Downs, Kentucky’s signature industry is on display here. But that’s not all. Abraham Lincoln and Muhammad Ali were born here.

A world-class aquarium is on display here. Big city entertainment and amenities and small town hospitality are featured here. Travel this region and you’ll see what we mean.
