The town originally grew up around the railroad in the late 1800s, and you will still find plenty of historic character along its residential side streets. Because the community sits right on the border of Lincoln County, school zoning depends on which neighborhood you buy a home in. For newcomers looking for affordable housing and a friendly atmosphere, it provides a comfortable spot to settle down in central Kentucky.
