Visit the historical O.Z. Tyler Distillery, Owensboro, Kentucky's only Bourbon Whiskey distillery. Gift shop open year-round and tours + tastings offered for a small fee. See how traditional Kentucky Bourbon Whiskey is made firsthand, then see our exclusive TerrePURE® technology in action.
We went to 9 other distilleries throughout our visit to Kentucky. OZ Tyler was our last stop and it was a great one. From the kind gentleman at the gate, friendly ladies in the gift shop, and our knowledgeable tour guide Adam, we had a wonderful experience here. Highly recommend the Honey Bourbon although all 3 OZ Tyler Bourbons were noteworthy. It’s a way off the trail but it was worth it!

The Bluegrass Music Hall of Fame & Museum is the world's only facility dedicated to the preservation of the international history of bluegrass music. Plan a trip to Western Kentucky and bring your instruments! Newly opened in 2018, the Hall of Fame features a 450 seat indoor concert venue and an outdoor amphitheatre. Attend our jam sessions, concerts, and the ROMP Bluegrass Roots & Branches Festival. Then walk the hills of Jerusalem Ridge, and visit the homeplace of Bill Monroe, just down the road. Exhibits: Bluegrass Hall of Fame, VOHP documentary series highlighting First Generation musicians, historically significant bluegrass instruments, the timeline of bluegrass music, following the roots from the Scots-Irish string bands to camp meetings and gospel quartets, through fiddling conventions, the jazz era, and the folk music revival.
This museum is great! We were traveling with a baby and I feel the length of it was very appropriate, especially for those with children. They also have an interactive section where people can try different Bluegrass instruments. The museum itself is right off of the river so you can easily access Smothers Park as well as grab lunch if you’re hungry.

Dedicated on April 20, 1992, Panther Creek Park features 4 screened-in shelters and 3 open air pavilions. Screened-in shelters are available for rental April 1 - October 31 each year where many groups host company picnics, family reunions and birthday parties. Wedding are frequently held at the two gazebos in the park. The park also boasts a 6 acre lake that is regularly stocked by the Kentucky Department of Fish & Wildlife. Waterfowl and turtles also call the lake home, making it a wonderful educational experience. Fishing guidelines follow those of the Kentucky Department of Fish & Wildlife and are posted at the park. Seven walking trails wind throughout the park with 1,800 feet of unique elevated trails. Visitors are invited to explore the wetlands as well as wooded areas. Trails are handicapped accessible. Six ball diamonds are available, accommodating softball and baseball.
Trails are well maintained, fun fishing for the kids and their fireworks show for 4th of July is fantastic.

Our first trip to these gardens. Beautiful!! A huge variety of plants and trees. Definitely a show stopper for all seasons. It is still early now and many flowers are just beginning to bud out. Looking forward to several more trips this year to see the changes. Trust me, take an hour out of your day and just wander around, look at the blooms, listen to the water features and just restore your soul.

Originally purchased in April 1974 from John Stone and opened to the public in May 1978, Yellow Creek Park provides a multifaceted recreational and leisure opportunity. Nestled along the wooded banks of Yellow Creek at Thruston, the 152 acre park features hiking trails, multi-purpose sports areas, a Pioneer Village, and several outdoor pavilions. Other amenities that set Yellow Creek Park apart from other area parks include a swinging bridge, a refurbished one room school house, a 7 acre lake, and multiple walking trails. Our trail guide can be found here. Yellow Creek Park is a frequent backdrop for both professional and amateur photographers. Family portraits and senior pictures are often taken near the iron bridge and the James Lambert Pioneer Village. The Pioneer Village boasts two log cabins and two log barns that are the perfect setting for photos, weddings and family gatherings.
Love this park. Several great locations to have family reunion, church picnics and day camps. Great playground and even a splash pad. The Parks and Rec do a great job of maintaining it

Preservation Station Market, Restaurant, and Event Center is a 39,000 fully heated and air-conditioned former elementary school transformed into an antique, unique, boutique and vintage country mall and restaurant with over 60 permanent shops open daily Tuesday thru Saturday 10-5 and Sunday 9-5. The restaurant on-site serves Southern favorites and is open Tuesday through Friday 11am - 2pm, Saturday 11am - 3 pm with a Sunday Brunch Buffet 9 am - 2 pm. The facility can also be rented.
This antique mall is the antithesis of quaint. Unlike others of the kind it isn’t overcrowded, the vendors are laid out nicely and it’s easy to navigate (even with a stroller). The fact that it’s in an old school with parts of the school still in tact is just adorable.

I love that this quirky landmark is here! Lots of people stop by to check it out and grab a photo. If you have always wanted to do the trip where you see the World's largest rubber band ball and things like that or if you are a history buff that would be fascinated with how much history this tree has survived this is a cannot miss!
