Staying Home for Spring Break? 4 Great Daytrips from Louisville

April 2, 2014 by Heidi Potter

Staying home this Spring Break? There are many great places, just a short drive away, to entertain your family. You definitely will not feel like you are in Louisville anymore when you go visit these gems:

Bardstown, Kentucky

Bardstown, established in 1780, is known as the Bourbon Capital of the World. If you are interested in more than the top-notch distilleries, there is great sightseeing, shopping, eating and entertainment here. Shop on North Street and see Stephen Foster’s “My Old Kentucky Home” performance. Read more.

Go into any shop around the historic town of La Grange, Kentucky, and you will see this sign, La Grange: A Train Runs Through It. It will take a minimal amount of time before you realize why. Trains run through the middle of this quaint town, with a main street chock-full of restaurants and shops. Read more.
