What is one famous thing Kentucky is known for? -

I m doing a geography project about Kentucky. I know of course about Kentucky Fried Chicken and the Kentucky Derby, but what is one other reason anyone should visit Kentucky?

Abraham lincoln was born in Kentucky and they have lots of whiskey.

Certain parts of eastern Kentucky are famous for their poverty. There are some incredible horse farms around Lexington and other places. It s just a beautiful state with lots of hardwood forests. I think some or a lot of the mining that blows off the tops of the mountains to get to the coal goes on in Kentucky. It s called strip mining or surface mining, and a lot of it goes on in Kentucky. I imagine some of the beautiful sounding bluegrass musicians come from Kentucky. Mountain Dew mouth comes from drinking so much of the stuff that your teeth fall out.Getting High on Oxycontin.Chewing tobacco. Smoking leftover cigarette butts out of public ashtrays.Eating Doritos after they have hit the floor.

Mammoth Cave, Louisville Slugger Museum, Appalachian Mountains, Cumberland Falls, Churchill Downs, Mint Julip s, bourbon whiskey, Bluegrass. Kentucky is the place where the midwest, appalachia, and the south come together. Also, the song, My Old Kentucky Home.

Fort Knox, an Army base where the country s gold is stored underground. They also have museums open to the public.Also,Kentucky Horse Park near LexingtonBluegrass Music FestivalsSteam Driven Paddlewheel River Boats
