About Willisburg
Willisburg is a quiet, close-knit town in Washington County, Kentucky, home to about 300 residents. Situated along Route 433 between Springfield and Harrodsburg, it holds the distinction of being Kentucky's demographic center of population. The community was founded in 1838 and named for Revolutionary War veteran Captain Henry Willis, growing from a small rural crossroads into a peaceful place to settle down.
For outdoor recreation, residents head just northwest of town to Willisburg Lake, a scenic 115-acre reservoir with a paved ramp for easy fishing and boating. Local families have access to early childcare right along Highway 433, while neighboring Springfield sits just a short drive away for larger shopping trips, healthcare, and county services.
