Warren County, Kentucky
Warren County is located in south-central Kentucky and is home to Bowling Green and a little car company called Corvette. Maybe you’ve heard of it?
Bowling Green serves as the county seat. It has the feel of a big city with a small-town heart. The county is also home to a huge cave system, Lost River Cave, if you’re into underground adventures.
There’s also a cool aviation museum for anyone who loves planes. Just don’t try racing your rental car against a Corvette. You’ll lose, and the locals will never let you forget it.
