Things to do in Bardstown

Bardstown is Kentucky’s second-oldest city, founded in 1780, and it calls itself the Bourbon Capital of the World with good reason. Heaven Hill, Barton 1792, Willett, Lux Row and Bardstown Bourbon Company all operate distilleries in and around town, while Maker’s Mark in Loretto and Jim Beam in Clermont are short drives away. Rows of aging warehouses dot the surrounding countryside, and bourbon now supports a large share of the area’s jobs along with tourism and agriculture. The historic downtown has inns, taverns and the Basilica of St. Joseph Proto-Cathedral, one of the oldest Catholic cathedrals west of the Appalachians.
