Conveniently located within a mile of shopping centers and restaurants including My Old Kentucky Dinner Train - a 37 mile lunch or dinner excursion through Bernheim Forest to Limestone Springs and back. Several restaurants are directly across the street from the hotel. My Old Kentucky Home State Park and Stephen Foster-The Musical are within 3 miles. Historical Old Talbott Tavern, one of the oldest stagecoach stops west of the Alleghenies, and the Civil War Museum filled with hundreds of authentic artifacts are within two miles. The area in and around Bardstown once reflected 22 operating distilleries with distilling records dating back to 1776. Only four remain open and three of these - Jim Beam, Heaven Hill and Maker's Mark - offer tours and/or films of the distilling process. Bardstown is known as the ''Bourbon Capital of the World'' and the annual Kentucky Bourbon Festival is held here each September. The Oscar Getz Museum of Whiskey History displays a 50 year collection of rare artifacts and documents concerning the American whiskey industry dating from pre-Colonial days to post-Prohibition years. Religious heritage tours are offered, including the Abbey of Gethsemani, the Trappist Monks Monastery, located just outside Bardstown approximately 15 miles.
