About
Lebanon, KY
Geographically
located in the center of the state, Lebanon
is the “Heart of Bourbon Country,” the epicenter of Kentucky barrel and
bourbon making. Attractions include Maker’s Mark Distillery, Limestone
Branch Distillery, the Kentucky Cooperage and WhiteMoon Winery. For outdoor
enthusiasts, Gorley Naturalist Trail presents challenging hiking and biking
and the scenic splendor of 47 bridges. Fagan Branch Reservoir and Sportsman’s
Lake beckon canoeists, kayakers and boaters (non-motorized boats) and fishers
and anglers for waters stocked with rainbow trout, largemouth and smallmouth
bass, catfish, crappie and hybrid bluegill. Incorporated as a city in 1815,
Lebanon played a crucial role during the Civil War and is today on the
Civil War Discovery Trail. It is also part of Kentucky’s historic Holy
Land, with sites including the Sisters of Loretto Motherhouse. Visual and
performing arts and pop culture and historic treasures are found at the
Marion County Heritage Center, Stillhouse Art Museum and Angelic Hall at
Centre Square. Shop for antiques, collectibles and handmade crafts downtown
and dine at your choice of 40 eateries|–|everything
from casual full-service restaurants to home-style cafes to an old-fashioned
soda fountain. Among accommodations options are the gracious circa 1833
Myrtledene Bed and Breakfast and Hampton Inn. Facebook.com/VisitLebanon |
