Where else would you spend Valentine’s Day weekend than Lebanon, the geographic center of the state and true Heart of Kentucky!

Pick a night or stay the weekend. Your package includes lodging, dinner for two, a box of Maker’s Mark chocolates, keepsake toasting glasses, “Lebanon-Heart of Kentucky” T-shirts and breakfast for two.

You’ll be in the Heart of Bourbon Country. Come early Friday and take a free tour of Kentucky Cooperage, the local bourbon barrel-making factory, then take a free tour of Maker’s Mark Distillery, just minutes from your hotel. Other bourbon-related sites are within 30 minutes.

Spend a day visiting interesting sites such as Historic Penn’s Store, the oldest country store in America continuously operated by the same family. It has remained intact and offers a step back in time.

Tour the Marion County Quilt Trail. You won’t want to miss the Double Wedding Ring, Rose of Sharon and Flower Garden patches.

You are also in the Heart of Kentucky Holy Land, where you can visit Holy Cross Catholic Church, the first Catholic church west of the Allegheny Mountains, and the Sisters of Loretto Motherhouse, a beautiful campus of historic buildings and structures that is an outdoor museum but also features the Rhodes Hall Art Gallery.

Finally, you’ll want to take your significant other to the romantic Scott’s Ridge Lookout to watch a spectacular sunset over 100 square miles.
