Brigadoon State Nature Preserve
From Exit 43 on I-65, travel east on the Cumberland Parkway to Exit 11 onto 31E south. Follow US 31E south for 6.5 miles, turn left onto Dover Church-Browning School Road and travel approximately 1.5 miles. Turn left onto Mutter Road and the parking area is approximately one-half mile on the left.
Brigadoon State Nature Preserve is 181 acres of mature woods and old fields bordering the backwaters of Barren River Reservoir in Barren County. Named by the former owners for the mythical Scottish village that appears from the mists once every hundred years, the unique character of the preserve does bring to mind the sense of being someplace special. The preserve was part of a 1,000-acre land grant given to Joseph Renfro, one of Virginia's Revolutionary War veterans. The rich woodlands contain an impressive array of spring wildflowers including several species considered rare or uncommon. The preserve also provides habitat for many resident and migratory birds. One-mile foot trail through ridgetops, mature forest and scenic ravines--moderately strenuous. Activities include hiking, birding, nature photography and research.

Fort Williams
Traveling Hwy. 31E North or South, turn onto Cross Street across from Lowe's. Turn right onto Fort Williams Way. Can also be reached by traveling through the Glasgow Municipal Cemetery.
Fort Williamswww.trailsrus.com
During the Civil War, Glasgow's railway and depot made it an important communication and supply post for Union troops in south central Kentucky. In December 1862, Confederate John Hunt Morgan took control of Glasgow for three days, just long enough to destroy Union rail and communication lines. Fort Williams was built in 1863 to deter future attacks of this kind. However, it didn't work as planned. On October 6, 1863, the 25th Tennessee Infantry, C.S.A., attacked Fort Williams with 120 men commanded by Col. John M. Hughes. As a result of this attack, CSA Col. Hughes reported 9 KIA, 26 wounded and 226 were taken prisoner.

Located in Houchens Park approximately 7 miles from Glasgow. Take Hwy 31-E south to Dover Church-Browning School Road. Turn left and Houchens Park is located approximately one mile on the right. A picnic shelter and restrooms are available on site.
In 1917, Ervin Houchens established his first store in what would become a multi-store, multi-million supermarket chain scattered across south central Kentucky. The founding of Houchens Industries by Ervin G. Houchens is a quintessential American success story. One of ten children, Houchens grew up in a three-room log cabin. In 1917, at the age of 19, he opened his first grocery store in rural Barren County, Kentucky, where he grew up. It was a modest enterprise, housed in a 12-foot by 20-foot shed. Less than three years later he was able to relocate his business to Cross Roads, Kentucky, growing into a general merchandise store.

Winn School & Antique Farm Equipment
Located in Houchens Park approximately 7 miles from Glasgow. Take Hwy 31-E south to Dover Church-Browning School Road. Turn left and Houchens Park is located approximately one mile on the right. A picnic shelter and restrooms are available on site.
The Winn School was originally located one mile west of its present location, where from 1891 to 1947 area youngsters were educated in this one-room schoolhouse. Bench desks, teacher's table/desk, books, photos and other artifacts celebrate the rural learning processes. A collection of antique farm implements and equipment are housed in a pole barn located on site.
