    A 50-year collection of rare whiskey artifacts dating from pre-colonial days to post-Prohibition days. The museum features rare antique bottles, a moonshine still, advertising art, novelty whiskey containers, and Abraham Lincoln's liquor license. A definite stop for bourbon enthusiasts.

    My Old Kentucky Home State Park

    Federal Hill was the inspiration for Stephen Foster's ballad 'My Old Kentucky Home.' Today this Bardstown mansion is as endearing to visitors as it was in 1852 when Foster was inspired to write the song. Step into the days of the antebellum South as costumed guides escort you through the stately Mansion. My Old Kentucky Home honors the symbol of the state song. Open daily Sept - May, 9am - 4:45pm; June - Aug, 8:30am - 6:15pm; Closed Thanksgiving Day, Christmas and New Year's Eve & Day. Handicapped accessible-first floor only. Contact: Alice Heaton.

    501 E. Stephen Foster Ave., P.O. Box 323, Bardstown, KY 40004, (502) 348-3502 or 1-800-323-7803

  • Built in 1819 and serving as the Old County Jail, this building has now been converted into an Inn. You can still look around and appreciate the color and character of building and its furnishings.

  • Kentucky is famous for bourbon whisky and Maker's Mark has a great tour of thier facility that explains the process from begining to end. Maybe you'll want to hand dip and seal your personal bottle of Maker's Mark whiskey in their signature red wax. The tours are free, but the whiskey is not.

    This is the home Stephen Foster sang about when he wrote the Kentucky State Song: My Old Kentucky Home.

    The home was owned by Stephen Foster's cousin - Mrs. Rowen at the time.

  • Return to My Old Kentucky Home Sate Park in the evening and go to the outdoor theater. Great, familiar music to people from the USA. Foster is the focus of the outdoor summer show Stephen Foster -- The Musical, which is staged June-August at the park. Hear Foster's immortal favorites like "Camptown Races," "Oh, Susanna," "Jeannie With The Light Brown Hair" and many others.

    Even if you don't like bourbon you'll find this an interesting place.

    The museum has bottles of bourbon from all over the place. It also describes how it is made.

    Tour the interior of the mansion. This typical room, in the Victorian style, includes an antique rosewood half tester bed.
