The Midway Historic District, located halfway between Frankfort and Lexington in Midway, was designated by the National Registry of Historic Places as a historic district in 1978. Charming shops and restaurants line both sides of the still-active Lexington and Ohio Railroad – the oldest railroad in Kentucky. Black Type Co. can fuel your adventures with hot coffee drinks and pastries, as well as cocktails, wines, and charcuteries. The gift shop offers the creations of local artisans, including Kentucky-themed art, honey, lotions, and candles. Kentucky bourbons and wines are also available for purchase.
