Grant County is Northern Kentucky’s
southernmost county. Located at the
tiptop of the Bluegrass Region, we are
within one hour of Lexington, Louisville and
Cincinnati, OH.
The four incorporated cities of Corinth,
Crittenden, Dry Ridge and Williamstown
offer unique history and sites of interest.
For the person that loves the outdoor, our
county is rich in natural beauty with
streams, ridges, rolling hills and seven lakes
offering everything from fishing, water
sports and boating to hiking, biking and
more. There’s also plenty of shopping in
our many antique shops, outlet stores and
specialty boutiques. Our festivals are
always memorable events with plenty to do
with the entire family.
