The Rabbit Hash General store bills itself as the best preserved country store in the state of Kentucky. Located in Boone County, it takes its name from the famous meal that the town was known for by steamboats that stopped along the shores of the Ohio River.

The Rabbit Hash Historic District was added to the National Register of Historic Places on December 4, 2003. It includes the store and a number of other nearby buildings.

One amusing anecdote about the town is its recent tradition of electing dogs as the official mayor. Beginning in 1998, with the election of Goofy Borneman-Calhoun, the tradition continues to this day. More than 22,000 people voted in the most recent election in 2020.

The John A. Roebling Suspension Bridge, originally known as the Cincinnati-Covington Bridge was renamed in honor of its designer and builder. When it opened in 1867, it was the longest suspension bridge in the world. Roebling is also known for designing what would become the Brooklyn Bridge in New York. However due to his death during the course of the project, finishing that bridge fell to his son, Washington Roebling, who completed the Brooklyn Bridge in 1883.
