The quirky, artistic city of Berea is known as the Folk Arts and Crafts Capital of Kentucky. From painters and sculptors to weavers and instrument makers, artists of all kinds live and work in Berea. It is home to unique art galleries and stores, like the Appalachian Fireside Gallery and the Old Town Amish Store. Berea College, a private liberal arts college established in 1855, is located here, adding a college town vibe to the already energetic city.
Because it is known for its arts and artists, Berea enjoys a large number of tourists throughout the year. In September, they come for the Spoonbread Festival. They also come to visit the Kentucky Artisan Center, which hosts events, exhibits and displays, and demonstrations. The Artisan Village is also a major attraction, featuring stores like Copperas Mountain Candle Company, Gastineau Studio, Gallery 123, Weston Glass Studio, and the Cabin of Old Town Artisan Gallery.
Berea is about 40 miles south of Lexington and 15 miles from Richmond, making it a great option for commuters. The city is very walkable and bicycle-friendly, with ample sidewalks and bike trails. In addition to the beauty of its art, Berea is filled with natural beauty, as well. It borders the massive Daniel Boone National Forest, a beautiful destination filled with sandstone cliffs, lakes, and rivers, and providing activities like hiking, camping, and rock-climbing.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
