Lawrenceburg is a quaint historic community located in the heart of Kentucky. This small town offers the amenities of rural life with the availability of a lifestyle offered by the larger metro cities of Louisville and Lexington. With a population of over 11,000 residents in both the City and County, Lawrenceburg is a friendly town expected to grow positively over the next several years. Once you visit, you may find yourself browsing the housing market and making plans to stay forever…we are just a little friendlier here after all! Our bourbon is as old as the community and our wine is nationally acclaimed.
Lawrenceburg is a town economically crucial to Kentucky’s very fabric. We boast not one, but two world-renowned distilleries, Wild Turkey and Four Roses. Lover’s Leap Vineyard (the largest in the state) and Rising Son’s Winery are located here and are quickly helping wine earn a place alongside bourbon as fine Kentucky exports.
Visit the new Dog Park (a City/County collaboration), stroll through our historic downtown area while enjoying great food and unique boutique shopping! Attend Bourbon Sessions at the beautiful, historic T.B. Ripy Mansion, or visit the Healing Field, a living tribute to Kentucky’s servicemen and women who have fallen in the war on terror.
