The Community
Highly noted for its historic homes and perhaps the best antique
shopping in the state, Georgetown is also known as one of the state's
fastest growing cities. Located at the crossroads of I-75 and I-64, it
is ideally located just 10 miles north of Lexington, the Horse Capital
of the World. Two larger cities, Louisville and Cincinnati provide
quick access to arts, entertainment, shopping and professional sports.
Georgetown was founded by the Baptist minister Elijah Craig in 1790,
best known for his world famous invention, bourbon whiskey. Today,
Georgetown is proud to be the American hometown of Toyota's Camry,
Solara Venza and Avalon production facility as well as host for the
Cincinnati Bengals' training camp, which is held each August at
Georgetown College, a four-year liberal arts school. Additionally, the
University of Kentucky, Transylvania University and Midway College are
all located in the surrounding area.
Recreation
Georgetown is located in the heart of Kentucky's famed Bluegrass
Region. This is horse country, and the area's back roads offer
beautiful scenery with horse farms, Irish fieldstone fences and rolling
fields of tobacco and cattle. Steeped in tradition and just 10 miles
down the road in nearby Lexington, Keeneland Race Course attracts
people from around the world for their yearly meets in April and
October. At the Kentucky Horse Park, visitors can watch a harness
maker at work, enjoy the parade of breeds, or take a horse-drawn
carriage tour. Historic Elkhorn Creek offers world class canoeing and
fishing. There are dozens of golf courses in the area, including Cherry
Blossom, Canewood Golf Course and University of Kentucky golf course.
