Fulton County, Kentucky
Fulton County’s tucked away in Kentucky’s southwestern corner, so far west it’s practically in Tennessee. The Mississippi River forms its western border.
The county is known for its agriculture. There’s soybeans, corn, wheat and more And if you’re around in September, don’t miss the Banana Festival. Yes, you read that right.
The Mississippi River is a prime spot for river-watching (it’s a thing, trust us). Hickman, the county seat, sits on those bluffs, looking out over the Big Muddy. It turns out Fulton was once a big banana shipping hub. Who knew?
