With an abundance of adorable little towns throughout Kentucky, it’s nearly impossible to narrow it down to the absolute most charming place. We’ve talked about the best waterfront towns, the most vibrant small towns, and incredible historic cities, but we’ve chosen a particular town in Kentucky that has it all. Maysville is nestled along the Ohio River and this historic and vibrant town is our pick for the absolute most charming town in Kentucky. If you don’t believe us, check out these amazing photos by AJP Drones & Videography and see if we can change your mind.
The town of Maysville is located in Northeastern Kentucky, on the banks of the Ohio River, just an hour from Cincinnati and Lexington.
Maysville has a very vibrant past, including being founded by Frontiersmen Simon Kenton and Daniel Boone, among others. The city also played a vital part in the Underground Railroad and Harriet Beecher Stowe even visited the town in 1833. She later based a passage in her book, "Uncle Tom's Cabin," on her experience there.

Its location along the Ohio River has always been a big part of Maysville's economy and livelihood.
Thankfully, Maysville has realized what beauty it has in its 18th-century buildings and is working hard to preserve them.
Historic buildings such as the Russell Theatre, the Washington Opera House, the Courthouse, and many churches have been or are in the process of being restored.
If you get out of town just a bit, there's also plenty of adventure to be had in the natural beauty of this region of Kentucky.

Maysville may be known as a river town and the birthplace and beloved home of Rosemary Clooney (and the ties to George Clooney, for that matter), but that's not all that make it charming.
