More Information
Details: Old Fort Harrod State Park commemorates the first permanent European settlement west of the Alleghenies. In March 1774, Captain James Harrod and thirty-two determined, brave men left Pennsylvania, and set out for Kentucky to claim lands and make a settlement. After a long and adventuresome journey, on June 16, 1774, Harrod and his men laid out a town, naming it Harrodstown. Today, Old Fort Harrod is a replica of the original. Enjoy a living history experience as you visit the cabins and blockhousesqcomplete with pioneer furnishings, where costumed craftspeople perform exciting tasks such as weaving and woodworking.<br><br><b>Directions:</b>&nbsp;&nbsp;The park is 32 miles southwest of Lexington on US 68 in Harrodsburg.
