Welcome to Your Greater Louisville Greater Louisville is where your dream of success and plans for a better tomorrow can be realized. It’s a comfortable, encouraging kind of place where you can settle down and get up and go at the same time – and most importantly, you can have faith in a bright future. There’s a synergy in Greater Louisville that’s flowing as freely as the Ohio River. It’s the result of a community’s shared vision and the pulling together of resources to work toward a goal. The unique enthusiasm for enhancing Greater Louisville is demonstrated by a diverse population of residents who value the area’s natural beauty, central location and rich historic traditions, as well as the promising excitement of its future. While steeped in a long history of traditions that make the area so wonderful to live in, there’s also a youthful enthusiasm here that’s shared by so many people who are investing the time, money and energy into making Greater Louisville an even better place to live. And, it shows. A trip downtown is a telling example, with exciting development and revitalization noteworthy in many parts of the city, particularly near the new KFC Yum! Center. Louisville’s “greenprint” is growing as well through the City of Parks initiative, one of the largest urban parks expansion projects in America that will enhance the community’s already impressive green spaces. Even to the casual observer, the community’s commitment to fostering cultural, economic and business growth is obvious.

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.

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.

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.

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).

Friendly Town Meets Scare Your Pants Off While Louisville is recognized for being one of the friendliest metropolitan cities in the country, the Waverly Hills Sanatorium in southwestern Louisville is credited for deeming it the scariest. The former hospital has been featured on ABC/FOX Family Channel’s Scariest Places on Earth, VH1’s Celebrity Paranormal Project, Syfy’s Ghost Hunters, Zone Reality’s Creepy and the British show, Most Haunted. More than 6,000 patients died there in the early 1900s during a tuberculosis outbreak, many of them allegedly haven gone insane prior to their demise. The strange happenings since have garnered much attention from curiosity and thrill seekers. Currently, the plan for the sanatorium is to use proceeds from tours to turn it into a four star hotel.
