Shelbyville, KY, is the county seat of Shelby County and is often called the “Saddlebred Capital of the World,” named for the horse breed. The annual Shelbyville Horse Show is held here, and so is the Shelbyville Dogwood Festival for folks who are more interested in art than horses. When the city slows down during winter, that’s when homeowners rely on American Chimney & Fireplace to keep their systems running right.
