    "It is generally safe but don’t make the mistake of thinking it’s safer than most as bad things still happen here like everywhere else. There’s cabs but no public transportation or Uber’s. The schools are great! People are usually friendly but lots of gossip as everyone knows everyone."

    "Bardstown is a down home, country town. Pretty friendly and peaceful small town. Grew up here and haven’t found a small town as beautiful that cares about its historical preservations as well as expanding to modern day living. Close to other cities for shopping and going to attractions. This town does not obtain large corporate buildings and small streets. It’s meant to be quaint. "

All around great for the young & the old!"
