Here in Kentucky, our love for horses knows no bounds. Whether we are enjoying a meal inside a converted stable or camping at an iconic equestrian park, we live, eat, sleep, and breathe horses in the Bluegrass. So the opportunity to dine inside a horse-drawn fire station from 1885 is obviously something we’d jump (or gallop) at the chance to do. And that’s exactly the experience that awaits when you visit The Engine House in Winchester, Kentucky.
Kentucky is a state that loves its history and horses. So a place that combines both is a rare unicorn worth seeking out!
