Bardstown
is located in central Kentucky, and has a population of 11,700 residents. It was named "The Most Beautiful Small Town in America for 2012," in the Destination Marketing Association Internationals Best of the Road competition. The city of Bardstown is called the "Bourbon Capital of the World," due to the many distilleries in the area and also for hosting the annual Kentucky Bourbon Festival. A public museum, the Oscar Getz Museum of Whiskey, showcases the local history of bourbon making. Bardstown is one of the oldest towns in Kentucky, dating to the 1780s. It also has the distinction of being the first center of Catholicism west of the Appalachian Mountains. The Diocese of Bardstown was established in 1808 to serve all Catholics between the Appalachians and the Mississippi River. One of the attractions in Bardstown is the Old Talbott Tavern, built in 1779. This historic tavern has served many notable Americans throughout the centuries, including Abraham Lincoln, Daniel Boone and Jesse James. The town is also home to My Old Kentucky Home State Park, site of the plantation home of Judge John Rowan and his wife, Ann Lytle Rowan. The mansion at the plantation called "Federal Hill" is depicted on the Kentucky state quarter issued by the U.S. Mint in 2002. Other attractions include the Bardstown Historic District, a National Register of Historic Places. The 26-block district contains 279 historic properties, including the Nelson County Jail, Old Talbott Tavern, the Old L&N Station, Spalding Hall, the old Nelson County Courthouse and Cobblestone Path.
