Cars loop all day around an old courthouse planted in the middle of a traffic circle in this Kentucky town, just down the road from the mansion that inspired our state song. Add a cathedral dating to 1819, streets the kids can cover on foot in one afternoon, and neighbors who greet you like family, and it's easy to see why America just named it the most welcoming.
