Kentucky delivers bourbon country charm mixed with quirky roadside stops—distillery tours galore, the world’s largest baseball bat, and a life-size Noah’s Ark. Some of these we’ve visited, others are still on our list. When we’ve been somewhere, the link takes you to our photo page with details and snark. Otherwise, you’ll head to their official site (assuming one exists—sometimes that’s half the adventure).
