Elizabethtown Tourism & Convention Bureau - Elizabethtown, KY
Just 35 miles south of Louisville, Elizabethtown is strategically located in the center of Kentucky's crossroads, surrounded by some of the state's richest historic landmarks, breathtaking lakes, forests and natural wonders. The town itself is anchored with museums, quaint shops and plentiful lodging. From the beginning, Elizabethtown provided an environment for American settlers to raise families, practice a trade, become entrepreneurs or even command great armies. Thomas Lincoln practiced carpentry in the area while raising a future President. John James Audubon, an early merchant of Elizabethtown, later became distinguished as a great ornithologist and illustrator. General George Armstrong Custer and his wife took summer walks along our tree lined streets. These historic names are only a few of many.
