We camped a week at Taylorsville, State Park a couple years ago. It's 31 miles to Bardstown, and lots of beautiful country side in-between. While we were there, we toured the Jim Beam Distillery and brought back some "sweet" souvenirs including half a whisky barrel that I refurbished and turned into a small table. I had to disassemble the barrel, sand every piece down. Glue the whole thing back together and tighten the metal ribs. The top of that table came from the wood floor loft of a 150 year old barn. The wood was hard as rock and I burned through several grinder wheels sanding it down, and over a hundred sheets of sand paper. Each board was cut, sanded, and finally glued together. And the the top was sanded flat again. Lots and lots of Polyurethane varnish on it. The end result was great! ... We really enjoyed our stay at Taylorsville.
Also:
My Old Kentucky Home State Park is only 1 mile from Bardstown.
Lincoln Homestead State Park is 20 miles from Bardstown.
I highly recommend the state parks.
