Bourbon County, KY—birthplace of the Commonwealth—offers rolling Bluegrass horse farms, Claiborne Farm, historic sites, bourbon stories, dining, and charming Paris shops.
Nestled in the heart of Kentucky’s famous Bluegrass region, Bourbon County was one of nine counties that made up the Commonwealth when it became a state in 1792. Its very name evokes visions of thoroughbred horses grazing in lush green pastures bordered by age-old stone fences and beautiful rolling countryside. In fact, more than 50 horse farms are in the county, including world-famous Claiborne Farm, where Secretariat stood at stud for many years and was laid to rest.
However, we are not just a one-trick pony. Our region offers a variety of historic sites and attractions that all visitors will enjoy. From delicious dining and charming shops in downtown Paris to our origin of bourbon stories, we have a lot to show and tell.
