A short detour between Louisville and Lexington will lead you to Bardstown, Kentucky. It is a great spot to eat at Talbott Tavern, which is said to be the oldest western stagecoach stop in America (people that have stayed there include Abe Lincoln, Daniel Boone, and King Louis Phillipe). It is a highlight of a trip otherwise characterized by endless stretches of highway dotted with fast food chains. The food is classic South and the servers are characters.
And if you happen to pass through during the day, consider visiting My Old Kentucky Home State Park. Tours are given by guides in full antebellum South costume. Admission is free.
