I just know two things from Kentucky that are Kentucky Fried Chicken (KFC) and Horse races.

Both are well known world wide. KFC is one of franchises which could be easily found in the big cities around the globe.

Kentucky Derby is famous event of horse racing in the USA. This is annually race held on the first week of May.

Actually, there are plenty of tourist objects in the Kentucky, some of them are:

- Museum of Louisville Slugger

- National Historic Parks (Abraham Lincln and Cumberland Gap)

- Horse Park of Kentucky

- Newport Aquarium

- Lost River Cave

We love to visit “butterfly farm” in Logan Street, Louisville. Not far from Shelby Park neighborhood. Historically as former German immigrants home.

There are at least 3 section of farms:

- butterfly farm

- insectarium

- gift store

Two butterflies

We may observe how butterflies and insects are bred and raised naturally through friendly practices.

Butterflies are coming from regional native, but insects as said by a staff from around the globe (after approved by United States Department of Agriculturer - USDA). 

One of small gardens

Butterfly garden is a kind of butterfly farm which house for butterflies and colorful flowers. A zoo for butterflies.

In the gardens, we may:

- encounter the beauty of butterflies.

- see the metamorphosis process of butterflies

- observe the pollination by butterflies

The last, but not least that we may shop many interesting and unique items. The gift store sell gift made by small business such as:

- jewelry of butterfly models

- preserved specimens

- books and toys for children

I think the place is good for educational purposes for every body, especially for kids.
