An Unlimited hydroplane race on the Ohio River at Madison, held every Independence Day weekend since 1951. Boats topping 200 miles per hour race a straightaway course watched from the town's historic riverfront and bluffs, and the event has hosted the sport's APBA Gold Cup several times. Madison's regatta committee is the longest continuously active in the Unlimited series.
The history within reach
- Madison Regattasame spot
An Unlimited hydroplane race on the Ohio River at Madison, held every Independence Day weekend since 1951.
A Renaissance fair open weekends from late May through mid July in Eminence, with costumed performers, jousting, artisan vendors and food.
A heritage festival in Rabbit Hash, a tiny riverfront hamlet on the National Register of Historic Places and home to a famously elected dog mayor.
The Georgian house where the founder of Louisville, George Rogers Clark, lived out his last broken years, bankrupt, one leg gone, the state that owed him for winning the Northwest unwilling to pay.
The oldest ornamental water tower in the world, a Greek temple of a pumping station built to make the idea of drinking from the muddy Ohio palatable to a nervous public, a hundred-and-eighty-foot standpipe dressed in Corinthian columns and classical statues.
