This town sits in the middle of a route people treat as a hallway instead of a destination. Midway sits almost exactly halfway between Lexington and Frankfort, which is actually how it got its name. A genuinely small, genuinely historic, genuinely local experience that has not been polished into something artificial for outside consumption. Coming back to Midway feels better than the first visit, because you already know what to expect. That familiarity with a small town is one of travel’s quieter pleasures, and Midway earns it every single time.
