One of the most….
Bardstown was voted one of the most beautiful small towns in America. You’ll have to visit for yourself to understand why. Photos won’t do it justice.

I traveled to Bardstown this summer and the place was beautiful! We were drawn to the region because of how many distilleries were there. Very cool, and I hope to get back again someday!
