Kentucky is one of the most versatile states in the nation. Known as the Bluegrass state, it is home to natural wonders like Cumberland Falls State Resort Park and the Mammoth Cave National Park. The Mammoth Cave National Park is the longest cave system on the planet. It is also steeped in deep American history with its strong bluegrass music and bourbon roots with the prestigious Kentucky Bourbon Trail.
Another one of Kentucky's top destinations is the eclectic city of Louisville. It hosts the annual Kentucky Derby and is home to Old Louisiana, a 45-block district with some of the most impressive Victorian architecture in the country.
