Visit Nicholasville, Kentucky

From the beginning of my walk in town, I got to check out a really cool mural that speaks to how proud folks are to live here. As you walk into the city, you can see the courthouse from all points, and while it’s simple at first blush, it’s a very beautiful building with many features. Be sure you walk all the way around it like I did; this is how you’ll come to appreciate all the little details that make it stand out. The grounds are also very calming and inviting. Visitors should definitely check out the Nicholasville Performance Park to check out an amazing outdoor art collection, with plenty of benches to sit in, and offering another great place to relax and enjoy some conversation or just a little peace and quiet.

Next time I visit I hope to eat at the Nicholasville Cafe which has an excellent downtown location and really cool signage. I’m curious what the food’s like and of course the atmosphere. I have a feeling I won’t be disappointed. There’s a few condemned buildings on 213 North Main Street which I wish could be brought up to code. That being said, this is prime real estate in a city that’s booming so I can’t imagine they’ll sit there for long.

The seat of Jessamine County has plenty to offer visitors as well as those looking to purchase a home. If you work in Lexington, this would be a great place to call home. It’s quiet, safe, and seems like a perfect place to raise a family. I didn’t any law enforcement; however, the community felt incredibly safe. The area is immaculate (no litter or graffiti anywhere), the streets are well-maintained, and there’s no riffraff anywhere.

If you’re in the area or you’re looking for a final destination to spend the day, I highly recommend Nicholasville. Mind you, I just walked around for about a half hour and could find a bunch of things to do. There’s also probably plenty I didn’t see, not to mention the rest of the county. As always, thanks for stopping by and have fun Exploring Kentucky!! Maybe we’ll bump into each other.
