Yuko-En Garden

The Yuko-En Garden provides a great location for a walk, picnic, or anything by the water. The middle of the park is encompassed by a large pond, providing a perfect scenery.  Have an event coming up?  Rent our building and area by the pond!

Weisenberger Mill

Weisenberger Mills is the oldest continuously operating grain mill in Kentucky.  The water-powered mill has been operated as a family business since the 1860s by six generations of Weisenbergers.  The mill produces flour, meal, feed and baking mixes which are shipped throughout the country.  The Mill also has the best slogan (we think)… “Just Add Water”
