Lexington, Kentucky

<

Lexington was established in 1775 in the fertile Bluegrass Region that provided a rich hunting ground for Native American Tribes. By 1820 Lexington was the wealthiest and most prominent city in the state, and today visitors can look forward to an enriching vacation in one of America’s oldest cities. Also known as the horse capital of the world, Lexington is an exciting destination for horse lovers – you can see over 50 breeds of horses at the Kentucky Horse Park or join a Horse Park Tour. History lovers will want to head to the Shaker Village of Pleasant Hill to see a reconstructed Shaker settlement, while gourmands can visit several wineries, explore the Brewgrass Trail of breweries, and sample delectable cuisine in the city’s vibrant Downtown. 25 of the Oldest Cities in the United States - Photo: jackienix/Fotolia
