Tired of the stress and fast-pace of big city life? Why not escape to the country where living is good and life is easy. Come to Flemingsburg, a quaint rural community located in north eastern Kentucky just south of the Ohio River and north of Cave Run Lake. Partake of the friendly, relaxed, small-town atmosphere where you're sure to be greeted with a smile. Stroll down our brick paved streets lined with acorn globed streetlights reminisce of the early 1900's and examine our rich historical architecture. Visit our local arts, craft and antique shops, dine on good down home cooking, and spend the night at our local Bed and Breakfast. Join us for our summer Fun Fests featuring local entertainment. Shop for fresh fruits and vegetables at our farmer's market. If you enjoy folk art, crafts, and quilts, don't miss our Covered Bridge Festival in August; or if antique cars and tractors are your pleasure, take in our cruise-ins. For good, clean, family fun put on your dancing shoes and join us for "Swing on Main" in September. And learn about our history as we step back in time on Founder's Day in October. Regardless of your age, there's something for everyone in Flemingsburg! |
