Jessamine County - home to Wilmore & Nicholasville is full of great shopping and delicious food for your road-trip! ย
It's the ย perfect road-trip excursion from Lexington, offering small shops on a sweet Main Street. ย Our main meal while in this town came from Luna's Coffee, Wine and Butterfly Cafe - I mean - the name alone draws you in - right? ย We also hear that Solomon's Porch is a high recommend.
We shopped all the way up and down the street - purchasing Kentucky made items and inspiringly curated collections of items they just don't make anymore. ย Granny's Attic was our favorite spot to stop and take it all in. ย There was SO much to see and it was obvious that their displays were actually "curated works of art" by the family that owns and runs it. ย Yes, some actually have fine arts degrees - so it's a fun spot to peruse and see what finds they've collected! ย The kitchen sink display of old dishes - so creative!
While shopping Main Street we highly recommend a pick up from Drinklings Coffee House, just off Main Street on Rice Street. ย We tried the Chai and Hot Chocolate when we were there.
ALSO in Nicholasville:ย
- Camp Nelson National Monument: they have a special Luminaria and Memorial Walk each October. ย You can read more about this monument here.
- Taylor Made Farm: origin of some of the most successful thoroughbreds in racing history. ย Find out more online.
Thanks for reading Kentucky Road Trips!
