Ways to spend time here

Frankfort

A half day in Frankfort: three museums on one ticket

One Kentucky Historical Society ticket covers the Kentucky History Center, the Old State Capitol and the Kentucky Military History Museum, and a free sculpture park is a short drive away. Frankfort is about 25 miles west-northwest of Lexington in a straight line; roads run longer. This is a suggested visit, not a booked activity.
