The Kentucky Tourist

AGP Executive Report

Last update: 4 hours ago

Travel Disruptions: The U.S. 51 “Cairo” Ohio River bridge is closed until further notice, and the Cave-in-Rock ferry is also down—so drivers between Illinois and Kentucky are being pushed onto longer detours like the Shawneetown and Brookport bridges and I-24. Tourism & Outdoors: Kentucky history buffs looking for something older than the last 250 years may want to plan a prehistoric stop—Dinosaur World in Cave City and Big Bone Lick State Historic Site in northern Kentucky are both getting attention as must-dos. State Parks & Tourism: Gov. Beshear’s latest Team Kentucky update highlights state park and tourism efforts alongside emergency recovery work after flooding. Bourbon Trail Updates: Cave City’s Cave City Distilling and other new additions are being promoted as fresh stops for Bourbon Trail travelers. Family Travel Fun: A Kentucky family’s first visit to Dolly Parton’s new Dolly’s Tennessean Travel Stop (near the Kentucky border) is drawing buzz for its themed details and road-trip energy. Local Notes: Kentucky’s time capsule project is inviting residents to submit stories and photos for a future opening—an easy add-on for visitors who want to connect with the state’s America 250 moment.
