Ky River Bourbon History Tour
$25 per person, Limit 20
You are about to have a good time with Captains Allison, Nathan and Clayton aboard the "Trace of Kentucky" or "The Bourbon Belle" on the Kentucky River.
This is a great way to learn about the river and its impact on an entire industry! On this tour 1 hour on Monday, we will discuss 6 different distilleries near the river, see the operational Lock and Dam #4, Daniel Boone's grave from below, "Frank's Ford" from above, the Leestown Settlement, and much more. Throw in a slice of wild Kentucky with critters ranging from Blue Heron to Bald Eagles, and river otters to white-tailed deer. Top that off with a little local Bluegrass flare coming through the speakers, and you’ve got the perfect recipe.
Transportation on your own.
