Visit This Charming And Historic Downtown On Your Way To The Kentucky Mountains
There’s no shortage of winsome small towns in Kentucky, nor is the Bluegrass lacking in scenic beauty. So what do you get when you combine the two? Why, the charming and historic city of Monticello — that’s what! This adorable little mountain town makes a perfect detour on your way to the Kentucky Mountains, and is sure to become one of your new favorite places in the state.


Pictured here is a log cabin in downtown Monticello, built in the early 19th century by local settler "Racoon" John Smith. The cabin was originally located in Horse Hollow on the Little South Fork River, and today sits right in town for visitors to admire.
