We happen to think that Kentucky would make the perfect backdrop for any movie, and it seems Hollywood and the like tend to agree. Many movies have been filmed in the Bluegrass State and one of the most recent uses a charming small town in Kentucky as an idyllic setting. Midway to Love was released in 2019 and recently aired on the Hallmark Channel. Filmed in Kentucky, you may just recognize many of the places that add countless charm to this lovely movie.
Midway is a delightful town near Lexington that is known for its location in horse country and one of the most charming downtown areas in the state.
This town has always been worth a visit to go for a scenic drive, stop for a bite at a local restaurant and walk up and down its small town streets. If you're familiar with Midway, then you'll want to watch a new movie filmed in Kentucky that highlights this endearing area.
Midway to Love was released in 2019 and while it may not be up for an Oscar anytime soon, it does have a certain charm and the setting can't be beat.
The movie was available on Amazon and has been playing (appropriately, given its style) on the Hallmark Channel. It's a little cheesy, basically drama-free, and a feel good movie that may be just what you need to watch right now.
And if you can't get into the plot, then watch the movie for its location and several stops at recognizable places around Midway and nearby towns.
When the main character returns home to Midway, Kentucky, her first stop is Darlin' Jeans to catch up with her dad and enjoy some cobbler. Perhaps you've done the same thing here!
Much of the movie was filmed right in the heart of Midway as the characters walk along the streets.
Even though this isn't a major film, it's still fun to see all of these local shops and restaurants featured in a movie that you can watch on your own TV or device.

Many times when a movie is filmed in a town, the names of the stores and even the town itself are changed.
That is generally not the case with Midway to Love, so you'll likely recognize many of the shops that the main character visits. She also flies into the Blue Grass Airport in Lexington and you get beautiful aerial views of horse country throughout the movie.
Many scenes were filmed on this bridge, which sits in Walter Bradley Park in Midway.
As you watch the movie, see if you've walked along the same trails and seen the same views.
We don't want to give away any spoilers, but there is a great cameo of the Kentucky Castle in the most romantic scene of the movie.
In the movie, the characters drive up to the castle and you even get to see inside as they dine in the ballroom. It's one of many spots in Midway, Versailles, and other nearby towns that are wonderfully featured in this charming movie.
Even if movies filmed in Kentucky aren't worthy of an Oscar, we still believe they are worth watching just for glimpses of our beautiful state. Midway to Love shows off the charm of this small town and the beauty of this region of Kentucky. Have you seen Midway to Love yet? Are you from Midway and happened to catch when they were filming? We'd love to hear your stories in the comments!
