With some terrific road trip options available in the surrounding area, renting a car makes sense. Without one, it’d be much more difficult to explore everything that Clinton, 50 miles away, has to offer. Among your first few stops here ought to be Museum of Appalachia, Little Ponderosa Zoo and Rescue and Gibbs Ferry Park. Locals are also likely to point you in the direction of Berea, 55 miles away. If you can only find time for one thing here, let it be Kentucky Artisan Center at Berea. (But we’d also highly recommend St. Clare Catholic Church and Fiber Frenzy.)
