While we’re always sad to see summer go, our attention quickly turns to autumn and everything it represents. Festivals and hayrides, pumpkins and corn mazes, and fall foliage for days. The Bluegrass is blessed with some of the best fall foliage in the country; our crisp nights and warm days conspiring to create the most awe-inspiring spectacle of autumnal colors! And in Harrison County, Cynthiana is an impossibly charming treasure of town that’s proudly home to some of the best fall foliage in Kentucky.
Every year, as the lazy, hazy days of August fade into September, something marvelous happens in the Bluegrass State.
