Lincoln County, Kentucky

Lincoln County’s in central Kentucky, and no, it’s not named after Abe Lincoln. This county was named for Benjamin Lincoln, a Revolutionary War hero.
This is horse country, with pastures and old barns all over the place. The county’s got some nice rolling hills and horse farms.
There’s a cool little pioneer village you can visit if you want to see how the old-timers lived. Lincoln County is the kind of place where you can dive into history one day and relax in the countryside the next.
