Dr. Thomas Walker State Historic Park

Dr. Thomas Walker State Historic Site is the perfect summer location for a leisurely morning or afternoon – with a side of history and a full plate of fun! Located in this Barbourville, Kentucky park you’ll find a replica of Kentucky’s first home – a cabin built by Dr. Thomas Walker – the first frontiersman in Kentucky – preceding our beloved Daniel Boone by 17 years.

You’ll also find a fun mini-golf course, horseshoe pits, playground sets, grills, primitive camping, basketball goals, and picnic tables under beautiful shade trees.
