Bardstown, Ky was named "Most Beautiful Small Town in America" in the Rand McNally/USA Today 2012 Best of the Road competition. Kentucky Life talks to Kim Huston, author of Small Town Sexy, about the iconic streets, shops, cafes, and historic neighborhoods in the "Bourbon Capital of the World."
A total of 650 towns were nominated, and Bardstown pulled out all the stops for the offical judges' visit, with people lining the streets for a parade. The Rand McNally team of Nikki and Dusty Green spent a few days seeing the sights and getting to know the people. When the online voting was done, this Nelson County town - home to Barton 1792, Heaven Hill, Jim Beam, and the Ky Bourbon Festival - was the winner.
(Note: Danville was among the towns vying for Most Beautiful, making the final six; and Murray was named Friendliest.)

This is one of the most peaceful areas that I have ever visited. I loved My Old Kentucky Home!

@vickielewallen3799 4 года назад

Wow, petty town. All i knew about Kentucky was from a Daniel Boone documentary, now i wish i lived there, its peaceful. Probably no riots, protestors, no one knocking down statues, etc. Lucky you, Kentuckians, appreciate your state, its pretty

This town maintains its old structures just like an old town. The view of the structures, roads, sidewalks, boulevards, etc. look very nice & beautiful indeed.

Bardstown has a dinner train. You MUST ride the dinner train and enjoy the scenery along the rails while you eat. Everything about the Bardstown dinner train is first class. How could they not include it in this video?!!!

I attended high school at Nazareth Academy on its gorgeous campus just outside Bardstown. Full of history and not to mention wonderful “secret” dining options. It’s been over 50 years now. We’ve lived all over the USA and nothing else has quite the atmosphere. Used to wake early in the morning to the smell of corn mash!

@kellyanderson3412 7 лет назад

+Pearl_poppy mc Bardstown is?

@blabla48076 6 лет назад

That's because not only this town, but a lot of American towns have literally stolen all the architecture from European countries like Greece, the Netherlands, and Switzerland. If you visit some old towns and cities in those countries, you'll see what I mean (if you haven't been there yet). I guess it's a consequence of the US being a country build on immigrants, and a lot of the initial Dutch and English immigrants knew the architecture in these countries.

In 1954 I started 1st grade at My Old Kentucky Home school, over Christmas break in 1957 we moved to Lake City Fla.. We had lots of family living around Bardstown, if your namesake rhymes with "Grape juice" we are probably related, love to hear from you! My Dad was born in Beam Kentucky but grew up on farm, which is now part of Bergheim National Forest. Lots of great memories of living around Bardstown!
