Breckinridge Center, KY

Located just east of Morganfield in western Kentucky, Breckinridge Center is unique among local communities as the home of the Earle C. Clements Job Corps Center. Built on the footprint of Camp Breckinridge, an old World War II training post, the grounds were repurposed in the 1960s into a sprawling vocational school. Today, it operates like a self-contained campus with its own dorms, dining facilities, and career training programs, all surrounded by the quiet countryside of Union County.
