Frankfort is the capital of Kentucky, a state of the United States of America. It is the county seat of Franklin County.
As of the 2000 census, the city has a population of 27,741.
You'll find Frankfort nestled in a scenic river valley among the rolling hills of Kentucky's fabled Bluegrass region. History enfolds you on every tree-lined sidewalk and behind every door. Touring a distillery, sightseeing, shopping or canoeing down a lazy river are just a few of the possibilities in historic Frankfort. This is the city of Southern hospitality and Bluegrass tradition.
Places to visit:
Old State Capitol History Museum
Operated by the Kentucky Historical Society, this national landmark was Kentucky's seat of government from 1831-1910. Greek Revival structure includes a unique, self-supporting staircase held together by precision and pressure.
Daniel Boone's Grave at Frankfort Cemetery
Gravesite of Daniel and Rebecca Boone in a setting overlooking the city of Frankfort. Other notables buried in the cemetery are artist Paul Sawyier, Joel T. Hart, Theodore O'Hara and Vice President Richard M. Johnson and seventeen Kentucky Governors.
Kentucky State Capitol
Tour one of the most beautiful capitols in the country. Completed in 1910, the Beaux Arts design features 70 ionic columns, decorative murals and sculptures of Kentucky dignitaries. Also, the First Lady Doll Collection and changing history and culture exhibits are featured on the first floor.
Located next to the Capitol and overlooking the Kentucky River is the official Governor's residence. The Beaux Arts mansion, constructed of native limestone, was modeled after the Petit Trianon, Marie Antoinette's summer villa. Tour includes the state dining room, ballroom, reception room, and formal salon.
Kentucky State University
Kentucky's only small, liberal studies-oriented public university, founded in 1886. Hume and Jackson Halls, latter with public art gallery, are on the National Register. Carver Hall has King Farouk's Old World Butterfly/ Moth collection. Blazer Library with 340,000 volumes, has special African-American collection and is open to the public. Athletic events, concerts, art exhibits, theater, public lectures in season. Facilities available for meetings and conferences.
