Williamsburg - Kentucky - United States. Guide & Hotel Reservations from Cheap Hotels
Located about halfway between Knoxville and Lexington, you will find the town of Williamsburg, Kentucky. It is just off I-75 along the banks of the Cumberland River in the southern part of the state. This town dates back to the early 1800's and the 5000 residents still exude the same friendly spirit as their ancestors did when they first came here.
Visit Cumberland Falls State Park with a waterfall nicknamed the Niagara of the South. The 125-foot waterfall is a fascinating sight during the night as well as the day. When there is a full moon, the waterfalls cause an moonbow with the spray of mist - the only place in the Western Hemisphere to produce this phenomenon. This area is perfect for all kinds of water sports and there are professional outfitting services just a short distance away.
The Cumberland Inn Museum is located in the Reese Templeton Adams Hall and contains an impressive display. Here you will find the archives of Cumberland College, stamp, coin, arrowhead and nutcracker collections, as well as other collections. However, there are displays that you don't want to miss such as the hundreds of specimens in the Henkelmann Life Science Collection, the more than 7000 crosses in the Carl Williams Cross Museum and the magical Christmas display of Blair Christmas Land.
There are several hotels for you to choose from for your accommodations in Williamsburg. The taste of the home cooked food in the restaurants will please you to no end and will have you regaling your friends and relatives about it when you return home.
