With its lively downtown chock full of eclectic dining and entertainment to its special events and festivals, the Lebanon National Cemetery, historic homes and landmarks, rich Civil War and religious heritage and a robust genealogy research facility, Lebanon, Kentucky, keeps a steady beat.
Marion County’s charm is abundant. It flows throughout its cities, including Loretto, home of world famous Maker’s Mark Distillery and Raywick, home of the Scott’s Ridge Lookout where visitors can see miles of breathtaking landscape.
Then there are quaint villages like Gravel Switch, where Historic Penn’s Store has been continuously operating since 1845, and Nerinx, site of the Sisters of Loretto Motherhouse and its beautiful campus of historic buildings and structures.
There’s Holy Cross, home of Holy Cross Catholic Church, the first Roman Catholic church built in Kentucky, which dates back to 1792, and Calvary, an outdoor paradise that features Sportsman’s Lake and the Fagan Branch Reservoir. In every direction, there’s something to see or do.
Take a day to enjoy the rolling hills and green pastures where champion country hams and world-famous bourbon are produced. Amid rolling bluegrass hills and rangy knob land, you'll feel the warmth of the people and the tranquility of the countryside when you visit Lebanon, the geographic center of the state and the true Heart of Kentucky!
So come feel the beat. With its nonstop activity and close proximity to larger cities, this community has preserved its small-town way of life and peaceful rural qualities, just the right mix for a great getaway.
