Summary and Frequenly Asked Questions:

Steeped in history, Harrodsburg is a delightful destination for families and for anyone who is interested in exploring pioneer history in Kentucky. The Shaker Village of Pleasant Hill is a living museum of Shaker history, where you can admire original Shaker buildings and learn all about the life of the early pioneer settlers. To delve back to even earlier times you can take a tour of the Old Fort Harrod State Park which contains a replica of the original 1774 wooden fort and other dwellings. Children will enjoy both of these attractions but the cherry on the top would be a day at the (seasonal) Devine’s Corn Maze and Pumpkin Patch. After a busy day of exploring you can slake your thirst at the Lemon’s Mill Brewery.
