Jefferson County, Kentucky
Jefferson County is home to Louisville, Kentucky’s biggest city. It’s where the Kentucky Derby happens. Think fancy hats and mint juleps.
Muhammad Ali was born here. There’s a cool museum about him and an airport named after him. The waterfront has a big park where you can watch Ohio River barges float by.
If you like baseball, check out the Louisville Slugger Museum. You can’t miss the giant bat out front. The food scene’s pretty good here too. Try a Hot Brown if you’re feeling adventurous.
