Offering a glimpse of life in a pioneer fort, Old Fort Harrod State Park is home to a collection of log structures which have been built to represent the original Fort Harrod, which was established in 1774. When you visit the park you can take a step back in time to explore the daily lives of the men, women and children who lived in the fort back in the early pioneer days, when Fort Harrodsburg became the first permanent settlement in Kentucky. Visitors are invited to tour the full-scale replica fort, the Lincoln Marriage Temple, cabins and blockhouses filled with original furnishings and the Mansion Museum.
