Lexington attracts many history buffs because of its rich history dating back to the early 19th century. It is home to Transylvania University, one of the oldest universities in the US. If you want to visit historic sites, include Mary Todd Lincoln House and Waveland State Historic Site in your itinerary. Further, the city is the self-proclaimed “horse capital of the world” because of its well-known horse breeding scene. You can learn more about this scene at Kentucky Horse Park, a working horse farm that provides an immersive learning experience.
