About Fredonia

Fredonia is a quiet, close-knit community of around 470 residents in western Kentucky's Caldwell County. It offers a relaxed, rural atmosphere while keeping you well connected to the surrounding region. U.S. Route 641 runs right through town, giving you a quick nine-mile drive south to Eddyville and easy access to Interstates 24 and 69. Heading north on the same highway gets you to Marion in about ten minutes, while Princeton, the county seat, is roughly twenty minutes southeast on Route 91.

Founded back in the 1830s and named after a founder's daughter, Fredonia has held onto its historic small-town charm for generations. Living here puts you just a short drive from Lake Barkley and the Land Between the Lakes recreation area, making it easy to spend weekends boating, fishing, or camping. While you will head to nearby towns for major shopping and hospital visits, Fredonia is a solid fit for anyone looking for peaceful country living and affordable elbow room.
