Live, Work, and Play in Historic Versailles

Versailles, Kentucky is the thriving civic and economic center of Woodford County. Not far from the hustle and bustle of Lexington, Louisville and Cincinnati, visitors to Versailles can immerse themselves in 200 years of small-town life. Versailles, one of eight nationally recognized Preserve America Communities, was founded in 1792 and named by a Revolutionary War hero after the city in France. Descendents of many early settlers still live in the county, which has been home to six Kentucky governors. The local economy is fueled by manufacturing and agriculture, including the world-renowned horse-breeding industry. Surrounding Versailles, in the heart of the Bluegrass region, are reminders of Kentucky's storied horse industry: elegant mansions, pastures lined by stone fences, and, of course, grazing, graceful thoroughbreds.
