There are plenty of places to shop in Kentucky, but you may not think to head to a lakefront, small town to experience some of the best little stores in the state. But that is exactly what you’ll find at the shops of Patti’s 1880’s Settlement in Grand Rivers. If you haven’t heard, this legendary Kentucky destination unfortunately experienced a fire in early February, and they have been working hard to rebuild ever since. While the well known restaurant remains closed (for now), the shops on the property have reopened and these shopping destinations are so worth the journey.

Patti's 1880's Settlement is a recreated historical log cabin settlement, hidden away in the beautiful town of Grand Rivers.

The town is mostly known for its lakefront location and the hidden gem that is Patti's 1880's Settlement. The property itself is well known for its restaurant (which is currently closed from the fire) and incredible Christmas lights display. But what you may not realize is that Patti's is also a shopping destination that is very much worth the drive.
You'll find a little bit of everything at the shops, from clothing to home decor, to gifts and specialty items.
