Fayette County, Kentucky

Fayette Location Map Kentucky

Fayette County is in the middle of Kentucky and home to Lexington, the state’s second-largest city. It’s horse country though. Be careful or you might trip over a thoroughbred.

History’s all over the place, from Henry Clay’s home to Mary Todd Lincoln’s house. And let’s not forget the bourbon.

The University of Kentucky keeps things lively, while downtown Lexington has enough bars and restaurants to keep you busy for weeks. There’s a reason they call this area the Bluegrass State, and it ain’t just for the grass.
