National Kentucky Day

We began honoring each state in the order they were born in the union, beginning with Hawaii and ending with Hawaii on Independence Day. We feature a small portion of each state's past, foods, and the people who make up the state. So much more to discover; we can't help but celebrate our beautiful country even more!

The first to enter the union west of the Appalachian Mountains was the Bluegrass State, which was the first to enter the union west of the Appalachian Mountains. On three of its four boundaries, Kentucky is bordered by rivers from Fort Knox, the birthplace of one of the country's most beloved presidents, and the home to one of the country's most beloved presidents..

In Kentucky, musical roots run deep. Ancient history to modern-day to discover a variety of music that the state treasures. Well, for a reason, it's called The Bluegrass State.

Kentuckians are highly skilled in athletic pursuits both on and off the court. In Louisville, the Kentucky Derby, one of the Triple Crown's most popular events, takes place in May every year. Established in 1875, the derby has many traditions, including serving mint juleps.

They maintain a fierce rivalry with their Hoosier neighbors on both the court and field. Basketball, in particular, has a long history in the state.

Daniel Boone blazed trails through Kentucky, and several state parks and parks bear his name. The natural wonders of Kentucky are along those paths. The Mammoth Caves (they're mammoth because they're the longest in the world) to the national forests, crystal clear lakes, and majestic waterfalls are among the Mammoth Caves (they're mammoth because they're the longest in the world).
