Kentucky is known as “The Bluegrass State,“ both for its bluegrass music and for the bluish purple flowers that appear on the green grass when it gets tall enough. There’s also the Kentucky Derby, where you can show off your prettiest hat while watching “the fastest 2 minutes in sports.“
Our series of US geography videos “Visit the 50 States,“ gives you a little history and interesting facts about each state. For every state, you’ll learn when it entered the Union, what’s its motto, how did it get its nickname, and see what the flag, seal, and state capitol building all look like. We’ll find the state capital on the map! There’s also fun trivia - do you know the state tree, flower, and bird? Watch and find out!
