Franklin County, Kentucky
Franklin County is in central Kentucky, home to the state capital, Frankfort. It’s where all the political action happens – or doesn’t, depending on who you ask.
The Kentucky River cuts through Frankfort and the entire county. It’s perfect for those who like their government buildings with a side of scenery.
Buffalo Trace Distillery keeps the bourbon flowing, while Daniel Boone’s grave reminds visitors of the state’s frontier days. U.S. Route 60 and I-64 make it easy to get here by connecting Frankfort to both Lexington and Louisville.
