Crops are harvested and fields lay fallow for next year’s growth, and leaves crunch under our boots as we wander along well traveled trails that are the reason Campbellsville, in Central Kentucky, is designated as a certified Kentucky Trail Town. Perhaps we are remembering the brave soldiers who helped to shape Kentucky Civil War history as they fought on the Tebbs Bend Battlefield, or the pioneers who settled and created a homestead at Homeplace on Green River, or the nature lovers who left their marks forever on the land around Campbellsville and Taylor County, Kentucky.
