Nestled between Louisville and Lexington along the Kentucky River, Frankfort is Kentucky's capital city. The picturesque city is in the heart of bourbon, horse and wine country and is the home of the Kentucky State Capitol, Kentucky Governor's Mansion and Kentucky Historical Society. As Frankfort's only university, a strong town-gown relationship mutually benefits the University and the community as is especially evident in the ever-growing list of Kentucky State alumni politicians and educators as well as business, agriculture and industry leaders.
