Owensboro
Savour some Kentucky traditions in Owensboro, located on the Ohio River in western Kentucky. Sample signature hickory-smoked barbeque mutton and flavourful burgoo (a unique Kentucky stew), sip some of Kentucky’s finest bourbons, and explore the city’s ties to the roots of bluegrass music. Walk it all off with a stroll through the Western Kentucky Botanical Garden or a round of golf.
Owensboro is home to the International Bluegrass Music Museum, the only international museum dedicated to preserving and showcasing the history, collections, and artefacts of bluegrass music. During the summer months you can hear outdoor live music events and the city is also known for its festivals that happen throughout the year, generally music or food related!
