To Plan A Trip

Kentucky has an especially vigorous office of tourism (800-225-8747). You can spend the night at Shakertown (606-734-5411), and you should; you’ll be fed marvelously, but if you want a drink before dinner, you’ll have to make your own arrangements—Monroe County is dry. In Louisville the Seelbach is a sedate delight (502-585-3200 or 800-626-2032), and the Filson Club downtown houses a particularly engaging small museum of local history.
