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.

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.

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.
