Oldham County, Kentucky
Oldham County is just northeast of Louisville. It’s where the city folks go to pretend they’re in the country. But U.S. Route 42 and I-71 make it easy to commute to Louisville.
La Grange is the county seat, has a train that runs right through Main Street. The area is also home to several top-notch schools.
The county’s population of about 70,000 is spread across rolling hills and charming small towns. Yew Dell Botanical Gardens, located in Crestwood, is a beautiful spot for a day out. The Ohio River forms its northwestern border.
