The 7 Best Government Buildings in Kentucky, United States
Famous for Bourbon Country and horse farms, civil war battlefields and beautiful natural parks, Kentucky offers a delightful mix of experiences. You might begin in Lexington, where the 1200-acre Kentucky Horse Park is a popular attraction. The university adds exciting sports, impressive art and a vibrant student/professor population to the city. Louisville is similar, where renowned Churchill Downs hosts the annual Kentucky Derby and the Belle of Louisville, the nation’s oldest steam-driven river paddlewheeler, hosts enchanting lunch and dinner cruises along the beautiful Ohio River. Next, head south to visit Mammoth Cave National Park for a day of touring the cave (the world’s longest known cave), hiking and canoeing on the Green River. Paducah, Berea, Bowling Green – so many places to explore and enjoy!

Wed walked the manicured grounds on a bright 62˚F day. The building and its surrounds could tell some great tales - a placid and historic site.
2. Governor's Mansion

Built in 1914 as the new Governor's mansion, this is the oldest official governor's residence in the United States.

I had a great time taking the 30-minute tour. The house is four floors but only the first floor is accessible to the public. The docent covered everything from governor history to the history of the executive mansion itself with sprinklings of facts about the first ladies and artifacts in the residence. It is worth doing if you are near the Capitol and have some time to kill.

Stumbled upon the capitol after dinner in downtown Frankfort. Stunning architecture, especially at night!
4. Logan County Archives and Genealogical Society
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 6 reviews
The front of our building is a two-story red brick structure that once served as the jailer's residence. The rear of our building is a grey stone block jail with three very high windows that face west and east. We are located across from the local Post Office, beside the County Sheriff's department, and on opposite corners from the new County Court House.

This historic 1910 capitol is an impressive building by itself. A lot of history has been preserved in the rotunda and surrounding hallways. Be sure to “look up” the Kentucky State Capitol and “look up” at the ceiling to appreciate the magnificent painted murals. People will see lots of decorations on a free walk through the building. There are 70 enormous columns and lots of sculptures. The glass floor on the second floor of the library was awesome to walk on.
