Welcome to Winchester

We welcome you to Winchester, created in 1793 from 66 acres of land donated by frontiersman, John Baker. The town was named in honor of Winchester, Virginia where Baker was from. By 1812, it was the 7th largest town in Kentucky.

Winchester is nestled in the well known Bluegrass Region of Kentucky, offering spectacular scenery in an area steeped in rich traditions and a great history. You'll love our friendly lifestyle and family tailored activities.

Enjoy shopping, being part of our special events throughout the year, exploring our historic past and dining in our one-of-a-kind eateries. The "welcome mat" is always out in Winchester.
