The Rabbit Hash General Store looks untouched by both time and river waters. Its large front porch with roof overhang is the town's social focal point. A large painted sign welcomes visitors to the store itself, which still sells groceries and other staple items for local residents. As a major tourist attraction, however, the Rabbit Hash General Store features antiques, collectible Bybee pottery, hand-woven towels from Boston Weavers, brooms made at Berea College in Kentucky, hand-made soaps, wooden kitchen utensils, enamelware, and the necessary hats, shirts and postcards. Lots of delicious foods are offered as well, such as Mom Blackmans cream pull candy, Windstone Farm blackberry jam, shortbread wafers in tins, Lion coffee and Saponi Soaps handmade olive oil soaps.
The Rabbit Hash General Store is open every day from 10:00 in the morning until 7:00 at night. Visit our Contact Us page to get in touch.
In addition to the General Store, Rabbit Hash features the Rabbit Hash Museum, historic homes, and shops such as the Kentucky Huckster, which offers a variety of Appalachian crafts and quilts. Day-long riverboat cruises on the Ohio River to Rabbit hash are offered from Covington (directly across the river from downtown Cincinnati) by area sightseeing cruise operators such as BB Riverboats.

G'Day Y'all from Oz

I had the pleasure of visiting your great little community and store about 3 weeks ago while on holidays from Australia. Friends of mine from Erlanger KY first introduced me to Rabbit Hash on my last visit to USA 3 years ago, so when I came back with my wife and elderly mother and Aunt right up on the agenda was a revisit to Rabbit Hash.
Friendliness and a willingness to talk to strangers seems to be a way of life in Rabbit Hash and therefore the area's charm goes beyond the old buildings and weatherboards, but goes to the core of Kentucky hopitality. We were particularly struck by a box in one of the shops that said "Lunch Time. Put money here" and had an arrow pointing to a hole in the box. Oh, it also showed how to calculate you tax. I am pretty well travelled, but I have never seen anything like that before anywhere else in the world!
I will be back. It might be a year or 4, but I will return.
