Introduction
Welcome to Glasgow, KY


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. 

Glasgow is a growing home town community with a low crime rate.  It offers both independent and public school systems as well as one private Christian school.  Downtown squares activities include arts and crafts festivals several times a year.

 

Other interesting facts include television journalist Diane Sawyer was born here in 1945, and just this year Barren County was named the “Best Place to Live in Rural America” by The Progressive Farmer Magazine. 

 

Barren River Lake mostly lies in Barren County and occupies parts of Allen and Monroe Counties as well.  It is a 10,100 acre man-made lake made from the Barren River and has is 140 miles of shoreline.  There is a multitude of water sports and fishing that takes place throughout the year.
