Downtown: Shelbyville, Ky | Kentucky Life | KET

It's the Saddlebred Capital of the World, but as Amy Hess learned on a recent visit, you don't have to love horses to enjoy Shelbyville, Kentucky. Historic downtown Main Street features a wide array of one-of-a-kind shops and cafes.

Amy stops in at the Bell House Restaurant, which was built as a home in 1902 and opened as a restaurant in 2009. We also learn the story behind the 19th-century firehouse bell on the front lawn, now rung daily to welcome guests.

Our downtown tour also includes 6th and Main Coffee, housed in a building that dates back to the 1860s; the McKinley Bread Shop and Bakery; Harvest Coffee and Café; and Making Ends Meet, which has unique treasures for the home, crafting supplies, and crafting classes. Amy also points out some trendy clothing stores.
