The Commonwealth of Kentucky, nicknamed the "Blue Grass state," is located in the Southeastern United States and is primarily known for its horses, bourbon, basketball, and bluegrass music. If these aren't enough to interest you, the sprawling hills and open farm land make this a beautiful place to visit. A love for family and country music make the people here both friendly and inviting.

The history of the Commonwealth intrigues scholars from around the world. Both Jefferson Davis, President of the Confederate States of America, and Abraham Lincoln, President of the United States at the same time, were born within just a few miles of each other in southwestern Kentucky.

Louisville is home to the Kentucky Derby, arguably the most famous horse race in the world and commonly known as "The most exciting two minutes in sports." The Queen of England witnessed the 133rd Derby from a terrace at Churchill Downs in 2007.

If the outdoors and nature interest you, Mammoth Cave is located in the western end of the state and offers some great caving and hiking opportunities. Natural Bridge has one of the few natural rock bridge formations in the country. Lexington and the Bluegrass region are full of open farms and plenty of horses for your viewing pleasure.
