What can I see about historical and natural attractions

Here are a few places I've visited...

Shaker Village of Pleasant Hill
http://www.shakervillageky.org/
A restored Shaker village, and some of the buildings have
guides in costumes, etc. Nice restaurant and gift shop also,
and you can also stay overnight if you wish in rooms with
Shaker-style furniture.

There's also a riverboat excursion a few miles away
on the Dixie Belle:

Tickets can be purchased at the Shaker Village.

Abraham Lincoln Birthplace National Park
http://www.nps.gov/abli/
A national park at the site where Lincoln's family had a
farm where he was born. A log cabin is inside the memorial;
they originally claimed it was the actual cabin he was born
in, but now they aren't sure; in any event it's a good
representation of it. There's also a visitor's center with
Lincoln exhibits. The natural underground spring where
the Lincoln family got their water is still there. If you
have any interest in Lincoln you'll find it all very interesting.

My Old Kentucky Home State Park
http://www.state.ky.us/agencies/parks/kyhome.htm
The beautiful home where "My Old Kentucky Home" was
written; guides in costume give tours.

The city of Bardstown (where My Old Kentucky Home is located)
has several other historic attractions. Also, this region is the
home of Kentucky bourbon and several distilleries in the areas
give tours. I've been to Maker's Mark makersmark.com and
found the tour to be very interesting, and there are several
other good ones.
