Take a drive through picturesque rural countryside to stop at one of the many locally owned and operated family farms nestled in the rolling hills of Mercer County. Stroll through orchards, ride horse back, cast a fishing line, buy fresh-picked produce or pick your own, visit a beef cattle, sheep or goat farm, learn about 19th century historic farming methods, wander through greenhouses and nurseries to choose plants for your own garden. |

Future Home of Kentucky Agriculture Heritage Center
Mercer County will be the future home of a new
museum that will tell the story of agriculture’s contributions to the state.
The world-class facility, scheduled to open in 2010, will be approximately
300,000 square feet and display educational and interactive exhibits. Proposed
plans include a walking tour of historic agriculture, a meeting complex that
will seat 20-1000 people, plus a theater, video conference center, kitchen and
retail outlet for Kentucky products.
