Description

A capture of Main Street in Bardstown Kentucky which was voted the Most Beautiful Small town in America in 2012. Not to mention Bardstown is the Bourbon Capital of America. So much to see and do here and it is really a beautiful town. I captured this image as the sun was setting and all of the Christmas lights were on. I used an HDR and other effects to give it a slight painterly look and then added an aged texture.
The Bardstown Historic District, comprising the center of Bardstown, Kentucky, is a registered historic district on the National Register of Historic Places. Prominent architecture located within the district include the Cobblestone Path, Nelson County Jail, Old L & N Station, Old Talbott Tavern, and Spalding Hall, all individually on the National Register, and the historic old Nelson County Courthouse.[2]

The district consists of twenty-six blocks with a total of 279 properties. Over one third of the buildings in the district are Federal or Georgian architecture dating from the 1780s to 1850, reflecting Bardstown's status as one of the first towns in Kentucky, first settled in 1780 and formally established in 1788. Twenty-four of the blocks are in the initial grid pattern used to lay out the town's lots in 1797.
