Most accidents happen close to home. And that’s where our agents happen to be. It only makes sense: If the trees and curbs and other drivers you may run into are right around your neighborhood, shouldn’t your insurance company be there, too, ready in a minute to begin the process of putting things back to normal? At Kentucky Farm Bureau, we think so, which is why there’s an experienced and committed KFB agent in every Kentucky county. So when you need them, you have local access to an agent who has not only been around the insurance block, but they may even live on your block.

Spencer County Spencer County is where the path less traveled gives you reasons to remember where you’ve been. It’s a place where people aren’t afraid to say hello to strangers, invite them in for coffee and convince them there’s no better place on Earth than where they’re currently standing. In Spencer County, store owners know their customers by name and the gentle, laid-back attitude of residents offers a change from big city pressures. It’s where live music fills the air on summer evenings and the views of Taylorsville Lake from area resorts take your breath away and where taking care of your neighbors is part of everyday life. Business With so many outdoor activities surrounding 3,050-acre Taylorsville Lake, tourism is big business in Spencer County. Edgewater Resort offers visitors to Spencer County incredible views and accommodations on a 163acre tract overlooking Taylorsville Lake. In addition to tourism, the county is poised for industrial interest as well with the 51-acre Taylorsville Business Park. Proposals have been made to create a new Taylorsville City Park, which will add to the landscape of the downtown area, as will additions to its Main Street corridor. Major Attractions, Activities & Dining Anglers catch bass, bluegill, catfish and crappie in abundance while pleasure boaters enjoy 60 miles of pristine shoreline alongside Taylorsville Lake State Park. The Horseman’s Camp at the park offers an added experience for horse lovers who enjoy sleeping under the stars. Spencer County extends an invitation to get back to the basics of life, where parents can teach their children how to fish or people of all ages can show off their wake boarding or water skiing skills. In addition to the lake, several venues invite the public to understand Spencer County’s agricultural roots, including working farm tours and farmer’s markets. Main Street in Taylorsville offers a series of live musical performances on various summer evenings and the 200-acre Tanglewood Golf Course is a natural draw for golfers in the area. The annual arts fair, Kentucky Gourd Show, Light Up Salt River and the Spencer County Octoberfest also draw crowds from around the region. Hometown cooking is the secret ingredient for many one-of-a-kind restaurants in Spencer County. The historic Ashes Creek Schoolhouse and Yates Log Cabin symbolize the rich heritage of the area, reminding us where this growing community originally began. The friendliness, southern hospitality and low crime rate make Spencer County a natural draw for many. And, with the natural beauty of Taylorsville Lake State Resort Park, Spencer County is simply hard to resist.

Bullitt County Bullitt County is a place where quality of life is valued and history and agriculture are celebrated just a few minutes from the big city. In Bullitt County, you can discover the secrets of a 14,000 acre forest along Bent Twig Trail or have a tea party at a place called Slow Poke Farm. Bullitt County consists of 300 square miles and has a strong commitment to preserving its natural setting which is demonstrated at numerous parks, including Bernheim Arboretum & Research Forest. Businesses In the last 10 years, Bullitt County has seen an explosion of new businesses, including those in Settlers Point Business Park and Cedar Grove Business Park, which hosts Gordon Food Services, among others. Publisher’s Printing Company is the area’s largest private employer. The tourism industry is the second largest. Zappos and Best Buy’s “Geek Squad City” both have set up shop in Bullitt County, offering the area an increased public awareness among consumers eager to buy discounted designer shoes or electronics. With Norton Hospital’s two immediate care centers, and Jewish Hospital’s $35 million medical center, the county has seen a rise in the number of health care providers. The Paroquet Springs Conference Centre is a popular site for business meetings and hosts many regional, state and local events that promote the future of Bullitt County. Major Attractions, Activities & Dining A key stop on Kentucky’s Bourbon Trail, the Jim Beam American Outpost and Distillery draws thousands of visitors each year, and the new Beam Global Visitor’s Center is expected to add to that experience, bringing even more visitors to Bullitt County. New wineries like MillaNova in Mt. Washington also add to the tourism “spirit” of the area. Bernheim Arboretum and Research Forest offers weekend nature programs, a visitor center and plenty of opportunities to get away from it all with 14,000 acres for exploring with more than 50 miles of hiking trails and 14 miles of biking trails. Country and bluegrass music can be enjoyed at the Shepherdsville Music Show. If high speed is more your style, you can spend the night out on the go-cart track at Kart Kountry or make a big splash at the 10,000 square foot Pirates Bay indoor water park. Shoppers will find bargains at some of the area’s outlet stores, antique shops and the World’s Most Awesome Flea Market and Zappos shoe outlet. And, golfers will enjoy going for par at Heritage Hill Golf Club. Historic sites include Belmont Iron Furnace, Brashear’s Station, Bullitt’s Lick, the Lloyd House, and Mystery Cemetery, Salt River Iron Furnace and the Bullitt County History Museum. At Hawk’s View gallery and cafe, distinctive hand-blown art glass items are made while you watch and dine. The area’s agricultural heritage is celebrated at Historic Slow Poke Farm in Shepherdsville and Sycamore Ridge Farm in Mt. Washington, where down-on-the-farm fun is an everyday experience. Bullitt County offers familiar national restaurants, in addition to some local eateries. Whatever you’re craving, Bullitt County can satisfy your appetite for settling down in a growing community that offers a rural country setting with just enough metropolitan flavor. 40

Henry County Henry County’s picturesque country roads and beautiful agricultural heritage offer the tranquility and peace-of-mind not often found so close to the big city. It’s a place full of surprises in a hello-how-are-you-doing kind of atmosphere – where absolutely no one is a stranger and summer evenings are spent on the front porch with neighbors. In Henry County, you can enjoy an outdoor concert at a local winery, watch artists demonstrate their talents at downtown pharmacies or even pull for your favorite knight in a jousting contest. If you’re craving a peaceful lifestyle in a quaint rural atmosphere, Henry County has much to offer. Like many who appreciate its beauty and historic ambiance, you too might become accustomed to the hospitable nature and easy-going attitude of a community committed to making the most of its agricultural assets. Attractive housing options are available in the quaint downtowns of the county in addition to several up-and-coming subdivisions, including a new development in the northwest part of the county that includes upscale homes surrounded by lush green fields and open spaces. Beautiful country roads border farms and homes on large lots. Business Henry County ranks in the top 10 in the state in tobacco and hay production and recently has received well over $1 million in grant money for agricultural diversification efforts, with expectations of receiving more in coming years, which makes it an attractive climate for new agricultural ventures. In recent years, Henry County has transformed from a purely agricultural economy to a diversified economy with industry and technology playing large roles. Two prime industrial parks, Henry County Campbellsburg Industrial Park and Shawnee Industrial Park, offer businesses locating to the area a wide variety of options. 44

At a Glance

Located approximately 35 miles northeast of Louisville, Henry County is easily accessible by Interstate 71. If you would rather take the path less traveled, there are plenty of country roads that connect Henry County with surrounding Shelby, Oldham and Trimble Counties. The estimated population is 16,185 and growing, due largely to the affordable housing market and its prime location to Louisville as well as Lexington (70 miles northwest) and Cincinnati (65 miles southwest).

Harrison County, IN In Harrison County, both the roll of the dice and views of the Ohio River take your breath away. Just 30 minutes west of Louisville, you can canoe a river, hike a mountain or explore a cave. Harrison County is a place where a trip to Emery’s Ice Cream Shop and Butt Drugs will satisfy both your sweet tooth and your taste for nostalgia. It’s a beautiful rural escape, where winding scenic roads give plenty of reasons to take a drive or feed the alpacas at Flatwoods Farm. It’s a place where nature and art are appreciated and a full house is something to get excited about. With an estimated 37,000 people living there, Harrison County offers valuable resources that work together to meet the needs of its growing population. Whether your interest is Blackjack or stalagmites, Harrison County has some unique attractions, including O’Bannon Woods State Park, Squire Boone Caverns and Village, the Zimmerman Art Glass Factory, Horseshoe Casino Hotel and four unique wineries. As the historic site of the only Civil War battle fought on Indiana soil, Corydon combines nature with history in its Battle of Corydon Memorial Park. When Horseshoe Casino Hotel dropped anchor in Harrison County, the revenue immediately went to work in the community, providing countless dollars toward civic and educational projects and organizations. The casino offers more than 142 table games and 2,500 slot machines. The resort also includes a 503-room hotel, the Chariot Run 18-hole golf course and a variety of concerts and live entertainment, in addition to fine dining options.

An up-and-coming hot spot for business development is in and around the I-64 Lanesville interchange, where plans are underway for improving the infrastructure to accommodate new business growth. Icon Metal Forming, Lucas Oil and Tyson Foods are major employers, as is Harrison County Hospital. Downtown Corydon is an entertaining and appetizing lesson in history. As the original capitol of Indiana, many historic buildings and sites encourage visitors to step back in time and enjoy a slower pace of life. Antique shops, quaint boutiques and wonderful restaurants make Corydon a “must-experience” town in Southern Indiana. The Corydon Jamboree held on Saturday nights and the Hayswood Community Theater showcase the town’s hospitable nature and quest for a good time shared among friends. Incredible views are around every corner of Harrison County, including the underground passageways of nearby caves. The Ohio River Scenic Byway twists and turns itself around scenic overlooks, stately mansions, quaint wineries and green fields in Harrison County.

Culbertson Mansion, photo Courtesy of Southern Indiana, Clark and Floyd Counties Convention & Tourism Bureau

Floyd County, IN Floyd County is a community that offers a unique blend of modern conveniences and historic ambiance where “sense of place” means something and where heritage isn’t just something you see in a museum. It’s where a night under the stars at the Georgetown Drive-In reminds you of the simple things in life. It’s where you can step back in time and imagine hooped skirts and 20th Century elegance at Culbertson Mansion. It’s where a shopping trip Downtown unveils historic treasures, and indulging caramel apples at Stumler’s Orchard becomes a fall weekend tradition. Floyd County covers 150 square miles and is accessible from Louisville on I-64 via the Sherman-Minton Bridge in Indiana. New Albany is the county seat, and has an impressive display of fabulous older homes, including Victorian mansions and early 20th-century bungalows. Mansion Row in New Albany offers a glimpse of life during the city’s “Age of Elegance” and reflects the community’s pride and dedication to preserving its rich heritage. A perfect example is the Culbertson Mansion. With its hand-painted ceilings, carved rosewood staircase, marble fireplaces and crystal chandeliers, the Culbertson Mansion signifies the affluence of a man once considered to be the wealthiest in Indiana. New Albany claims half of the county’s population of 71,997, making it 56
