Small-town support in this rural community east of Lexington
Wyandotte is a rural neighborhood on the west end of Winchester, a small city 15 miles east of Lexington. Many who live here work in the neighborhood's industrial park, while others commute to Lexington or Winchester for their jobs. The neighborhood offers a variety of housing options ranging from manufactured homes to multiacre estates. Kitty Strode, Winchester's current city commissioner and newly elected vice mayor, grew up in Lexington but has lived in Winchester for nearly 50 years. "Winchester has a lot of things going for it," she says. "I raised my daughter here and it's a great town for families. It's only 20 minutes from Lexington, and pricewise, you get a much better deal than in Lexington." Beyond its practical perks, Winchester offers what many realize is more challenging to find: a sense of support. "It's probably the most giving community I've ever known," Strode says. "Whenever there's a need, people come out of the woodwork to help out. Whether they need a refrigerator, stove, bedding, if there's been a fire, everybody rallies around the needs."
Take a drive to Winchester's Main Street, a great place to walk around and explore.

City parks and the Cassell Creek Golf Course
For some time outdoors, residents can head to one of Winchester's many city parks. "We put a lot of money into our parks," Strode says. "We have an indoor pool and we're getting a splash pad in the spring. We're working all the time to improve our services." Pet owners can take their pups to the fenced-in play zone at Legacy Grove Park, while children can explore its 2-acre playground, which incorporates natural play features like logs, large rocks and slides. College Park has another large playground, while Wiseman Park offers an expansive green space with a disc golf course and tennis and basketball courts. Three miles south, Cassell Creek Golf Course is a public 18-hole golf course with a driving range.

The Beer Cheese Festival and the Beer Cheese Trail
Winchester's biggest event is its Beer Cheese Festival, held annually in June. Winchester is the birthplace of beer cheese, and its residents take pride in that, rallying once a year to try beer cheeses from a mix of amateur and commercial vendors. "Some years, 100 people will apply for the amateur spots. Last year, we had 11 or 12 commercial vendors," Strode says. "We have a people's choice vote and we give out money to the winners." The festival attracts an estimated 10,000 to 12,000 visitors annually. Throughout the year, residents can explore the city's Beer Cheese Trail and keep track via the city's digital cheese log to see how many of Winchester's 15 beer cheese stops they've tried.
Working in Winchester or Lexington
Wyandotte is home to Winchester's growing Yeiser Industrial Park, a 44-acre commercial retail space filled with warehouses, auto shops and factories. "Our industrial park is practically full, which is a great problem to have," Strode says. "We have a lot of businesses that have been there for a long time." Many residents find work at the park, while others commute the 16 miles west into downtown Lexington for employment. Closer to home, the 7-mile commute into Winchester offers additional employment opportunities with organizations like the local city government, the Bluegrass Community & Technical College, or the Clark Regional Medical Center. Wyandotte is a car-dependent neighborhood with no public transit. The Blue Grass Airport is 22 miles west.
A country store, movie theater and Hamon Haven Winery
Most of the areas dining options are closer to Winchester and downtown, but there are some options around Wyandotte. Sherri's is a small country store 2 miles south of the neighborhood that serves breakfast until 10 a.m. and includes menu items like egg and cheese sandwiches and biscuits and gravy, while lunch goes until 4 p.m. and offers entrees like cheeseburgers, chicken sandwiches and BLTs. Five miles southeast, at the intersection of Lexington Avenue and Bypass Road, residents will find chain restaurants like McDonald's, Applebee's and Frisch's Big Boy interspersed with local spots like El Camino Real Mexican Bar & Grill and Woody's Sports Bar & Grill. Strode notes that the city will soon open both a Chipotle and a new Mediterranean restaurant to the community. "Anything new that comes is a boost for the community," she says. "It creates new jobs!" Kroger and Walmart are the neighborhood's nearest grocery stores, and both are located 6 miles southeast. Hamon Haven Winery is a family-run vineyard in Wyandotte that offers tastings and tours; and 5 miles southeast, the Malco Winchester Cinema shows first-run movies and has a small arcade.
Many Wyandotte residents work at Ale-8, which was built in 1902.
