About Boston

Boston is a tiny, peaceful community tucked into Nelson County, Kentucky, with around 250 residents. It offers classic small-town country living with roots that go all the way back to the early 1800s, anchored by historic spots like Mount Moriah Baptist Church. If you appreciate wide-open spaces, scenic rolling hills, and a quiet, laid-back atmosphere where neighbors know one another, Boston delivers plenty of rural charm.

The area also has a strong connection to Kentucky’s bourbon heritage, hosting Jim Beam’s Booker Noe distillery campus and its sprawling rackhouses. Even with its secluded feel, Boston is conveniently positioned for daily travel. Nearby Interstate 65 and regional highways make it easy to head into Bardstown for shopping and dining, or take a quick drive north to Louisville for work and weekend entertainment.
