USA Today and Rand McNally named the Five Best Small Towns in America this week, and two of them are in Kentucky: Murray (“friendliest”) and Bardstown (“most beautiful”).
Bardstown’s proximity to several distilleries – Barton 1792, Heaven Hill, Maker’s Mark – definitely played a role in its selection. The judges deemed the distilleries a “don’t miss,” noting that visitors can “learn about the history and heritage of bourbon, and the pride and love that goes into making Kentucky’s signature spirit.”
