Fort Boonesborough State Park

About Fort Boonesborough State Park

When Daniel Boone and his men reached the Kentucky River on April 1, 1775, they moved to build what is still known as Fort Boonesborough. With huts, log cabins and furniture, it was rebuilt into a functioning fortress, complete with a tower, fortifications, barracks, an artillery base, a hospital and a prison.

The fortress offers visitors an insight into the life of the families who lived along the river in the 19th century and built locks and dams. Today, local artisans give visitors a glimpse of the life of Kentucky's pioneers as they demonstrate their work on the walls, furniture and other artifacts of the fortress.

Pets are not allowed or are not kept, but there is a small grocery store with a cash desk nearby, and there are a few grocery stores in the park, as well as a gas station and a grocery store.

A sandy beach invites you to sunbathe, and while you sit in the pool, enjoy your favorite treats from the snack bar.
