Things to do in Frankfort
Frankfort is Kentucky’s capital, a small city set in a deep bend of the Kentucky River, and state government is its largest employer. Lawmakers, lobbyists, attorneys and state agency staff fill the Capitol and its annex during legislative sessions, while the surrounding valley has become one of the most visited stretches of bourbon country. Buffalo Trace Distillery, one of the oldest continuously operating distilleries in the United States, sits on the river’s edge, and Castle & Key has restored the historic Old Taylor Distillery a few miles southwest of town. Kentucky State University is here as well.
