About Henderson

Henderson is an Ohio River city in western Kentucky and the county seat of Henderson County. Its riverfront location has shaped the city for generations, from trade and transportation to today's downtown views across the water. Henderson is closely associated with John James Audubon, who lived in the area for a time, and the nearby state park bearing his name keeps that connection visible. The city also has a strong music tradition, including Bluegrass in the Park, one of the local events that gives Henderson regional personality.
