Campbellsville never disappoints with outdoor adventure and activities, everything from hiking, walking or horseback riding on more than 50 miles of trails that earned its designation as the Campbellsville Kentucky trail town to more than 21,000 acres for hunting deer, turkey, quail, squirrel, dove and waterfowl, as well as excellent Central Kentucky fishing around Green River Lake.

Autumn is the best time of year to explore and to experience some of Campbellsville KY events and absorb the history and heritage around this beautiful 200-year-old Kentucky college town.

Let’s get into the swing of Fall on October 10 with some spirited Bluegrass music at Pickin’ in the Park, an annual music and family fun event, featuring some good ole Kentucky tunes by Jim and Valerie Gabehart and band,  a fantastic Kentucky Bluegrass musical duo. The whole family will enjoy a day of pumpkin painting, a petting zoo, and an improv show by the Campbellsville University Harlequins.

Homeplace on Green River and The National Preparedness Network will host the 4th annual Heartland Homesteading Conference,  Friday October 24 through Sunday October 26.  This weekend of activities, hands-on workshops and lectures are designed for the whole family with topics like animal husbandry, gardening, orchard care, butchering, food preservation, sewing for kids, beekeeping and pollinators, herbal medicinals, and so much more.

Be sure to register for the conference early and make your reservations at one of Campbellsville’s lodging choices so that you can enjoy the entire weekend.

Homeplace on Green River has been a working farm for over 200 years and, as Kentucky’s Outdoor Classroom, provides a scenic and inspiring backdrop for learning about Kentucky agritourism in Campbellsville.
