Relocation in Kentucky

When Kentucky became the fifteenth state in 1792, it wasn't like it is today. Forests were here almost all over the place and this state was famous for its Whiskey and Rifles.

We know this state as homeland of Daniel Boone (an American hunter and pioneer whose frontier exploits made him one of the first folk heroes of the United States), Kentucky Derby and Mint Julep. There are mountains in the East and lakes in the West here.

Nowadays people live here in modern cities like Louisville and Lexington or in country hamlets. You can visit Bernheim Arboretum and Research Forest or University of Kentucky Arboretum during your weekends. And don't forget about Kentucky Derby - "The Most Exciting Two Minutes in Sports"
