But once you step out of your car and breathe in the fresh country air, walk our gently rolling hills, take in the vast fields of wheat and corn and experience true Southern hospitality, you start to get the sense that Bardstown was made for making bourbon. It’s a place to relive history, tour bourbon distilleries, indulge in fine Southern cuisine and explore the great outdoors as only Kentucky can offer. So whatever you’re looking for, you’ll find it in Bardstown. We recommend you pour yourself a drink (bourbon for the adults, sweet tea for the younger folks) and start planning your visit today. 3 Sip the world’s best bourbons right where they’re made.

  • 2015 National AITC Conference
    2015 National AITC Conference Friday, June 19, 2015 Tours Galt House Hotel, Louisville, Kentucky #1 Historic Kentucky Lunch at the Old Talbott Tavern The Talbott Tavern has been nationally recognized for its significant place in American History. This tavern has been continuously operated since it was built (except the time necessary to repair fire damage) in the same building and at the same location. Since the late 1700s, the Old Talbott Tavern on Court Square has provided shelter, food and drink to American travelers. It has been a silent witness to a stunning array of historical personages and events right out of the pages of American history. These historical figures sought food and shelter here during their travels: as a young boy Abraham Lincoln and his family; Gen. George Rogers Clark; Daniel Boone; and exiled French King, Louis Phillipe and his entourage stayed here, even painting murals on the upstairs walls. There are noticeable bullet holes in the now faded paintings where it is legend that Jesse James shot them. My Old Kentucky Home The house that came to symbolize Kentucky’s gracious hospitality, and according to legend, inspired Stephen Collins Foster to write his immortal song, “My Old Kentucky Home” is one of the most cherished historical sites in the commonwealth. Built between 1795 and 1818, Federal Hill, the home of Judge John Rowan, became a part of the Kentucky State Parks System on February 26, 1936. Located near Bardstown in Nelson County, the house and estate had been the home of the Rowan family for three generations, spanning a period of 120 years.

  • Schedule for Graves Family Gathering Sept. 8-10, 2016
    Schedule for Graves Family Gathering Sept. 8 - 1 0 , 201 6 From Hampton Inn-Bardstown 502 349-0100 $109/night plus tax with group code of GGP book by August 7 to get disc. rate 985 Chambers Blvd. Bardstown, Kentucky OVERVIEW A gathering will be held for Graves family members whose ancestors of the 1700s hailed from Virginia and went on to other states including the site of this gathering - Visit Bardstown, Kentucky - America’s Most Beautiful Small Town (by Rand McNally/USA Today in 2012). Bardstown is a 45 min. drive south of Louisville. The dates are the weekend prior to the annual Kentucky Bourbon Festi- val so the town will be at peak for touring (minus the thousands in the festival mob). Following in succession from a 2015 gathering in Harrisonburg Virginia that brought together known cousins and close Y-DNA matches, this Kentucky event is organized by two previous participants, Deb Lowe (Danville, KY) and Michael “Mike” D. Graves (Humble, TX). The focus largely is on participants who are in Graves Family Association (GFA) generations numbered 77, 94, 118, 150, 152, 215, and 511 since Family Tree DNA testing in Houston indicates that these “Graves family tree branches” have shared common “recent” ancestors dating back to the mid-1700s in Virginia and originally to Francis Graves (Gen. 220), son of Capt. Thomas Graves (1580-1635) who was among the early settlers who founded Jamestown in Virginia. All Graves descendants welcome! While we don’t yet know exactly through whom or when these branches (GFA Gen. #s) connect, this gathering looks into inter- esting bits of Graves family history in the company of closely related cousins with hopes of figuring out our historical connection.
