With the assistance of Lord Cultural Resources, a consulting firm in Toronto, the city began serious planning for the Lexington Children’s Museum. The site selection committee considered several sites and chose the current location in Victorian Square. Since first opening its doors in 1990 the Museum has hosted over a million visitors. Renamed Explorium of Lexington in 2005, the facility is a success with both children and adults. Attendance averages 85,000 visitors annually, and serves an additional 10,000 with outreach activities in the community. Explorium serves a much broader area than just Fayette County.

The site is home to Town Branch Distillery and brewery, which produces the Kentucky Ale family of beers. It is the oldest craft brewery in Lexington. Alltech founder and president Dr. Pearse Lyons acquired the 200-year-old Lexington Brewing Company in 1999 and resurrected the Lexington brewing and distilling tradition that dates back to 1794. Ground was broken on Town Branch Distillery in the fall of 2011, just steps away from the gleaming brew kettles of the brewery. Named after Lexington’s Town Branch stream, the waterway rich with limestone that once enticed numerous distillers to set up operations along its course, Town Branch Distillery was added to the Kentucky Bourbon Trail in 2012. It is the first new Lexington distillery built in the last 100 years. Today, the distillery produces Town Branch Bourbon, Town Branch Rye, Bluegrass Sundown liqueur, and Pearse Lyons Reserve, the first malt whiskey produced in Kentucky since Prohibition. Experience their story for yourself in downtown Lexington, where you will discover restaurants, bars and retail shops with our full range of fine beverage and food offerings. 5:30 p.m. – 8:30 p.m. Evening at the Orchard Families will enjoy a relaxing evening together with friends at Evans Orchard & Cider Mill, located just outside of Georgetown, Kentucky.

For those wishing to explore Lexington on Friday night, Lexington has many activates that take place downtown all summer-long. Everything is located within a short walk from the hotel.

Built in 1969, and formally named the Kentucky Horse Center was originally situated on 133 acres of prime central Kentucky farmland. Established as a Thoroughbred training and sales facility by Rex Elsworth and Dr. Arnold Pessin, KHC was immediately popular as an alternative to training at the local racetracks. Amenities at the training facility included a 5/8-mile track with a metal roof, two barns made primarily of concrete with metal roofs that could house up to 260 horses and had 40 tack rooms and a state of the art, 920 seat sales pavilion. In 1998 The Kentucky Horse Center was purchased by Churchill Downs out of Louisville and were owners of the facility until April of 2000 when Keeneland, Lexington’s local racecourse purchased the facility. In the transition, the KHC name was changed to The Thoroughbred Center and an expansion was made to the facility with an additional five barns added to enable the facility to house up to 1,180 horses. The facility normally operates with an occupancy of 900-1000 horses and is open year round. Keeneland continues to invest substantial capital into the facility, with the intention of making TTC the most popular Thoroughbred training facility in the country. Lunch at Gattitown Tour #2 – Pasture to Plate Marksbury Farm Market Marksbury Farm Market opened in Lancaster, Kentucky in August 2010, filling a pressing need in Kentucky’s fast-growing local food economy. The company’s logo reflects its commitment to maximizing the value of Kentucky’s rich pasture and strong farm family traditions through production of the highest quality local, grass-fed meats. All Marksbury products are free of antibiotics, steroids and hormones. They partner with area farmers who share their commitment to land stewardship, animal welfare, and the highest quality standards to bring their products to your dinner table. Marksbury Farm Market also offers a full menu of animal processing options for farmers throughout the region. The 12,000-square-foot, USDA-inspected meat processing and distribution facility provides services that enable dozens of independent farmers to offer their own meat products to consumers through farmers markets, community supported agriculture (CSAs), and other direct marketing outlets. Artisan processing, state of the art packaging and uncompromising food safety standards provide farmers the competitive advantages they need to be successful in today’s growing local food movement. Lunch at Boyle County Extension Office provided by Boyle County Cattleman’s Association Gilbert Livestock Enjoy a great after noon on the farm of Bennie and Terry Gilbert. The Gilberts have transitioned their farm from your traditional central Kentucky cow-calf operation, to become one of Kentucky’s top feeder calf producers. Each year, the Gilbert’s along with their son and son-in-law background approximately 6,000 head of feeder cattle for other producers throughout the country to finish out. The Gilbert’s work as a team on their farm and are actively involved in their local county Farm Bureau. Additionally, Terry was a part of the American Farm Bureau Federation’s Nation Women’s Committee for 15 years and chair for 14 of those years. Their story is truly inspiring; and one that you will never forget. -OVER- SATURDAY, JULY 15th Continued… Tour #3 - Education and Racing Keeneland Race Track True to its original mission to be a model race track, Keeneland today is an industry leader in developing and promoting innovations to advance Thoroughbred racing, improving safety and preserving the sport’s history and integrity. While the racing program is most prominent in the eyes of the public, the sales company is the engine that drives Keeneland. Sales revenue funds purse money for horsemen; pays for capital improvements and the costs of operating Keeneland’s expansive facility; enables Keeneland to make charitable contributions that aid the local community and the Thoroughbred industry; and allows Keeneland to pursue innovative equine safety and welfare initiatives and support equine research that benefits all breeds and disciplines. Keeneland is the world’s premier Thoroughbred auction house, selling more champions and stakes winners than any other sales company and unmatched in terms of offering the best horses, state-of-the-art sales facilities and a range of client amenities. Lunch at Locust Trace provided by Fayette County Cattlemen’s Association Locust Trace Tour Locust Trace AgriScience Center is the newest career and technical high school in Lexington, Kentucky with energy and environment being key factors in the facility design and agriculture being the educational focus. Locust Trace features spacious classrooms with adjoining labs, 6.5 acres for gardening, a state-of-the-art greenhouse with an aquaculture area for raising fish, a soaring auditorium with a garage door for bringing in livestock and machinery, an expansive equine barn and arena and an on-site veterinary clinic.
