Heritage Towns

Historic PaducahKentucky’s many historic towns and cities reflect the diverse heritage that the state proudly represents. Visit Hodgenville and walk the hallowed grounds of Abraham Lincoln’s birthplace. At Harrodsburg and Boonesborough, watch history come alive as costumed interpreters portray life on the rugged frontier in pre-Revolutionary War forts. Kentucky’s development was shaped by its many waterways, and visiting Ohio River towns from Paducah to Maysville and Ashland will impart a glimpse into how the river brought life to the young commercial center. See how coal has played such an important role in Kentucky’s industrial and cultural heritage by visiting mining company towns like Benham and Lynch in the Appalachian Mountains.
