Review & FAQ:

When you bring the family to Fort Boonesborough State Park they will enjoy both a fun day out and a history lesson rolled into one. Fort Boonesborough has been carefully reconstructed to form a working fort where you can watch a collection of craftsmen and artisans re-create the pioneer days at the fort. Demonstrations include candle-making, black-smithing, weaving and much more. If you would like to linger for a few days you can book a campsite on the banks of the Kentucky River.
