Its historic downtown buildings contain restaurants, shops, and markets, but they arent consciously cute—Harrodsburgs downtown is a utility, a place where people drive in from the country to run errands. Its very close to Shaker Village of Pleasant Hill, a preserved Shaker village thats a major tourist draw, and just a few miles from Herrington Lake, an enormous, twisting artificial lake that was formed by Dix Dam. Herrington Lake is a hotspot for boating and fishing; you can angle for bluegill, largemouth bass, crappie, and striped bass on its peaceful, deep waters.Harrodsburg is just a half-hour drive from Lexington, where you can visit Keeneland and the Kentucky Horse Park to experience the citys famous equestrian scene. If horses arent your thing, you can visit and tour the former home of Mary Todd Lincoln and other historic sites.
