Review:
Known as the center of commerce for South-Central Kentucky, Richmond is located in the heart of the Bluegrass region. The city has a lengthy Civil War history as the site of the Battle of Richmond. The ferocious battle ended with Confederate soldiers capturing 5,300 men.
Now one of Kentucky's largest cities, Richmond is renowned for its extensive parks system. The Lake Reba Recreational Complex is the most popular of all the parks in town, but visitors also enjoy seeing Paradise Cove and Adventure Falls. Downtown Richmond is home to a collection of Victorian-era houses and hotels.
