What makes this road special

The Old Kentucky Turnpike offers a glimpse into the state's transportation history, following sections of the original toll road built in the 19th century. While not continuously paved with its original surface, portions remain as scenic byways winding through rolling hills and farmland. Expect a relaxed drive with occasional glimpses of historic markers and small-town charm; it’s a step back in time for those seeking a slower pace. This route is perfect for history buffs and anyone wanting to explore rural Kentucky.
