Shakertown
Shaker Village is America's largest restored Shaker community, with 34 restored buildings and 3,000 acres of preserved farmland. Tours, exhibitions, and activities cover various topics in the historic buildings, working farm, and nature preserve. With a farm-to-table restaurant and lodging in the historic group homes and cottages (both listed below), this can be a unique place to stay, or the focus of a few days' worth of activities.
A 300 acre nature preserve located 15 miles south of Lexington. This property features 5 miles of hiking trails located within the Kentucky River Palisades, a deep gorge cut by the river.
