About Fairfield
Tucked into the rolling farmland of northern Nelson County, Fairfield is a tiny, peaceful community of barely more than a hundred residents. Originally founded in 1818 under the quirky name Turkey Town, it sits at a quiet country crossroads along Routes 48 and 652. It offers true rural seclusion and a slow pace of life, while still keeping you just a short drive from the shops, dining, and historic charm of nearby Bardstown and Bloomfield.
