Fort Harrod State Park

Old Fort Harrod State Park is a full-scale replica of the original fort built by James Harrod in 1774.

The fort’s cabins and blockhouses are furnished with handmade utensils, furniture, crude tools, and implements, which are a welcome reminder of how good we do have it today. 

Every time we visit we make sure to take a photo with the park’s famous ‘Big Ole Tree’, the largest Osage Orange tree in the US.

They have quite the knowledgeable staff. We have even witnessed a gunsmith making an original Kentucky rifle.
