About Gentryville
Gentryville is a quiet Spencer County town with deep roots in southern Indiana history. It originally grew around the general store of early settler James Gentry, who famously hired a teenage Abraham Lincoln as a store clerk. Today, Lincoln State Park sits right on the edge of town, giving residents immediate access to peaceful hiking trails, scenic lakes, and historic landmarks marking Lincoln's boyhood years.
With roughly 250 residents, Gentryville offers a relaxed, rural lifestyle with plenty of open space. Local students attend schools in the well-regarded North Spencer County School Corporation, and nearby U.S. 231 makes it easy to commute to neighboring towns or explore the rolling countryside. It is an appealing spot for anyone looking for a tight-knit community tucked right next to beautiful state parkland.
