One of the world's largest publishers of travel and tourism information has named Hazel, Kentucky among the top ten best antiquing towns in the U.S. With around 400 residents, the Calloway County community sits just north of the Kentucky/Tennessee line.

Fodor's Travel lists Hazel alongside other top antiquing destinations as Charleston, South Carolina, Clinton, Tennessee and Galena, Illinois.

The list cites the shops' Main Street accessibility and unique items for sale as reasons for the town's inclusion.
