Christian county Welcome Center/rest stop in Kentucky is a very pleasant place to take a trip from the road! This welcome center has a gorgeous grassy area with tons of picnic tables and plenty of shade everywhere around the main building which is a charming pillared brick enclosure that's temperature controlled with the restrooms and a couple small museum displays. You can also pick up some Kentucky pamphlets and brochures and magazines to get the scoop on what's going on in Kentucky.
The restrooms are clean and well stocked with toilet paper hand soap and hand dryers. Outside there is another red brick enclosure that has vending machines with snacks and beverages some of the beverage machines only accept credit cards and the snack machines except vending except credit cards and cash.
There is also a an area to grill out with a charcoal barbecue if you brought some of your own barbecue tools and charcoal along! What a excellent idea for a break from driving take a break to barbecue! There's a pet relief area separate from all of the picnic and shaded area thanks for an excellent place to stop and stretch see...

If you see here when stopping there, tell her what a great job she is doing!!! She even allowed me to take a picture of her and asked my granddaughter to be in it with her. She has a beautiful personality and the state is lucky to have her working here. I hope they realize that. Makayla, thank you for making our trip...
