Owingsville

Just off I-64 about 45 miles east of Lexington is Owingsville in Bath County.  Home to about 1,600, this little town is surrounded by beautiful rolling hills and is full of history, pretty homes, and friendly people.  After a spring morning strolling through downtown, we had a delicious lunch at Willoughby's Down Home Restaurant.
