The historic community of Harrodsburg is situated in the heart of Bluegrass Country, nuzzled among awe-inspiring palisades and smoothly rolling countryside that offers a glimpse back to the past when the community was the oldest English settlement (established in 1774) in the country west of the Allegheny Mountains. Indeed, Harrodsburg is a unique blend where history is highly honored and preserved, but considerable plans of innovation are being made to ensure the city’s continuing prosperity.

Positioned near the banks of the Salt River, Harrodsburg is the county seat for central Kentucky’s Mercer County. The city is located 33 miles southwest of Lexington, 40 miles south of Frankfurt, 74 miles southeast of Louisville, and about 110 miles south of Cincinnati, Ohio. The estimated population of Harrodsburg is 9,000 people.

Harrodsburg is a must-go destination for the history enthusiast. The city has gone through remarkable pains to preserve its illustrious history, and the fruits of their efforts can be seen in such attractions like Harrodsburg Historical Society Museum and Research Library, Morgan Row, Shaker Village of Pleasant Hill, Beaumont Inn and Old Fort Harrod State Park. Other worthwhile attractions includes a ride in the Dixie Belle steamboat down the Salt River, playing a round of golf at the championship-caliber Bright Leaf Golf Resort, or for all your water sports needs – a day at Herrington Lake.
