Glasgow is located in Barren County and lies midway between Nashville, TN and Louisville, KY. The county was founded in 1798 and named for the meadowlands, or “barrens”, found here. The city was named for its sister city in Scotland and was established one year later in 1799. The Scottish Highland Games are held here the weekend following Memorial Day each year.
Barren County and Edmonson County encompass Mammoth Cave National Park with over 300 miles of mapped passageways and includes the world’s longest cave. People come here from all across the country and abroad to tour these caves. The park is open year round every day except for Christmas day.
