Frankfort, Kentucky


Frankfort is the State Capitol of Kentucky.


After Kentucky became a state, Frankfort won the site for the Capitol.  
The city offered several city lots, a log cabin, locks, hinges, 
10 boxes of glass, 1500 pounds of nails and $3,000 in gold.



In 1961 the state Governor saw a floral clock in Scotland.  This clock was constructed on Capitol grounds.  This year the floral design is a butterfly.

The clock reads 12:15 PM.


The Governor's residence is patterned after Marie Antoinette's villa.  
She was the last Queen of France. 





Their grave site overlooks the Capitol.
