Hi, living in the area, I have some suggestions for you. Personally, Elizabethtown doesn%26#39;t have that much to see or do. Consider going to Bardstown where you will find My Old Kentucky Home. If you don%26#39;t want to tour, you can just walk the grounds which are nice. Also, in Bardstown there are historical museums to see. There%26#39;s also the distilleries and a monestary. There is a carriage ride around town that narrates all the historical homes and places. There is a famous restaurant there located inside a very old historical building. Beautiful small town. Also, not far from there is Harrodsburg. Old Fort Harrod is there as well as nearby there is Shaker Village. Outside of Elizabethtown, about 7-9 miles south, there is a very small, quaint town called Glendale. Lots of antique shops and 2 very well known restaurants. The Depot and the most famous Whistle Stop. The town literally sits on railroad tracks...this is a park and walk town. Very relaxing. Outside of Cave City there is Mammoth Cave National Park. There are the cave tours of course but also nice trails and such. Also, not too far south of Glendale is Hodgenville where you can visit Abraham Lincolns birthplace. The grounds there are so pretty and its no cost to walk around or visit the center there. Over in Western Kentucky you will find the Land Between The Lakes area. Kentucky Lake is beautiful. The actual LBL area offers so much to do. And nothing is really expensive. We didn%26#39;t pay over $5 to do anything there. There is the prairie where you pay about $3 per car and drive a loop and witness wild buffalo and elk roaming free. The Homestead is a pioneer farm to tour, the nature center has a lot of animals, the planetarium is neat too. In Grand Rivers {the nearby town} there is the famous Patti%26#39;s Settlement. All kinds of neat shops and such. Plus the famous Patti%26#39;s restaurant. The Iron Kettle is nearby and is delicious, not as expensive. Very small town. www.lbl.org and www.pattis-settlement.com will give you some good info on the area. We went camping there for a week, saw everything there was to see, ate out twice and we spent less than $350. I hope this helps! Any questions, feel free to ask!
