La Grange
La Grange is a unique Kentucky town in Oldham County near Louisville that has a little bit of everything and is ideal for visiting at any time of year. La Grange is well known for being the only town in America with an active train running down Main Street. While it is one of the town's most distinctive features and the first thing you notice, there is much more to do in this historic town. The significance of trains in this town is obvious everywhere you look. It's depicted on flags, city benches, and, of course, an observation tower on the outskirts of town. La Grange is a very walkable small town where you can accomplish a lot just by strolling around. A good parking spot is near the Courthouse lawn, which frequently hosts special events throughout the year.
The La Grange Farmer's Market, which runs from May to October, is one of the most popular events. Local farms with their produce, fresh cut flowers, handmade items, and more can be found here. There are several delicious places to eat right on Main Street, many of which have front-row views of the train. The Red Pepper Deli, pictured below, serves delicious sandwiches, soups, and salads. One Nineteen West Main is also ideal for a traditional southern meal in a relaxed setting. La Grange is the county seat of Oldham County and the location of the county's History Center. This newly renovated museum is much more than a small-town historical society. You'll find cutting-edge exhibits and an interactive way to learn about the area's history here.
