About
Augusta is located in Bracken County, Kentucky, at the convergence of the Ohio River and Bracken Creek. Riverside Drive in Augusta offers an incredible long-range view of this picturesque river valley. Many people believe it is the most beautiful valley view in the entire state of Kentucky. Perhaps this is why it is the site of three major films: Michener's Centennial, PBS' Huckleberry Finn, and Neil Simon's Lost in Yonkers.
Augusta is also the home of the Nick and Nina Clooney family and the former home of Rosemary Clooney.
Originally, the area was part of a Revolutionary War grant by Virginia to Capt. Phillip Buckner. A ferry service on the Ohio River has been in operation since April 2, 1798 and currently the Jenny Ann remains in daily operation under the auspices of the Augusta Ferry Authority, Inc.
