NOrthern Kentucky River Northern Kentucky River Historic river towns are a little bit country, a little bit cosmopolitan – and a whole lot of awesome, with one-of-a-kind attractions that stop visitors in their tracks. Goddard Covered Bridge, Flemingsburg AN AREA OF SUPERLATIVES Superlatives put the “e-s-t” into every visit to this region. Here, you’ll nd the biggest boat – we’re talking biblical proportions – with the life-size Ark Encounter; the most covered bridges in one county in Flemingsburg; the largest collection of dummies (950 and counting!) at Vent Haven Museum; one of the rst state parks at General Butler (now a State Resort Park); and one of Kentucky’s earliest settlements at the 1700s village of Washington. Oh, and this region also is home to the state’s only aquarium (Newport Aquarium) and the only town with a dog for a mayor (Rabbit Hash). CHARMING CITIES & TOWNS “Come On A My House.” Maysville chanteuse Rosemary Clooney sang it and this region lives it, welcoming visitors to its front door on the Ohio River – gateway to Kentucky’s bourbon country and the “Kentucky Bourbon Trail”® – to come experience all the charm, chumminess and charred-barrel spirits it has to share. Follow the new B-Line to your happy place, from “Kentucky Bourbon Trail Cra Tour”® distilleries to atmospheric bourbon bars to restaurants that pride themselves on Southern cuisine (and hospitality), sampling the region’s cocktail and bourbon-centric culinary culture along the way. 156 1-800-225-8747
