Yes.    

Full details from a previous thread are here.




Some highlights are as follows.



Quoted:
My .02 cents. From Louisville down I-65 to Bowling Green has enough to fill any vacation.

Louisville has about everything from museums, theater, dinner theater, a zoo, underground zip lining and jeep tours, and fine dining, to shooting at Knob Creek and strip clubs.
On down south is Glendale, a whole town built around antique shops and the Whistle Stop restaurant.
Cave City and Mammoth Cave National Park has hiking, caving, zip lining, kayaking, and several little tourist shops.
Bowling Green has the Corvette Museum, the Corvette factory, Lost River, and Beech Bend racetrack/amusement park, and water park.

Lots to see and do.

At the intersection of 4th street  and Jefferson,   there is a Louisville tourist center.        I think that is on the south east corner of the intersection.
