Hi Rick, sorry for the delay. We were on a long journey, just got back today, didn't have WiFi for much of the time and not much time to cruise the forum.
I don't have any experience in south Ohio. I live in central Kentucky and used to work at Toyota in Georgetown, hence my recommendation for their tour.
Fort Boonesborough State Park (
https://parks.ky.gov/parks/recreatio...boonesborough/) is just south of the Lexington area. They have a decent state park on the Kentucky river. There is also a historical Fort Boonesborough town next to the campground where you can take a self guided tour of different buildings with people in period costumes. We took our scout pack there once. Everyone had a good time. Warning, the campground is next to a busy road with truck traffic. With your A/C on it is not bad.
South of Lexington is Shaker Village (
https://shakervillageky.org/) This is an interesting place to visit, you can spend an entire day there. There is a private campground close to it. We stayed there and it's nice. Bathrooms needed some updating but that was 4 years ago. (
https://chimneyrockrvpark.com/). It sits on the shore of Herrington Lake.
You probably know about the bourbon trail distillery tours. Louisville is about 80 miles east of Lexington and there are many attractions there as well.
Hope this helps.
