Milner is a rural getaway not too far west of Lexington
The train from the nearby Bluegrass Scenic Railroad and Museum goes through Milner, carrying riders seeking a firsthand look at the bluegrass pastures, crop farms and other attractions in this part of Kentucky’s horse country. “I’ve lived here all my life. It’s just been peaceful around here all the time,” says Heath Payton, owner of Payton Farm Repair. He says the train can be a nuisance sometimes but adds that Milner offers all the perks of a rural community. “Everybody knows everybody."
This area, about 20 miles west of Lexington, has long piqued outsider interest and is a getaway for many — the community is within minutes of prominent establishments like the Wild Turkey Distillery.
Residents in Milner head to Bluegrass Scenic Railroad and Museum for scenic train rides and views of Young's High Bridge.
