Harrodsburg is historically significant as the first permanent English settlement in Kentucky (Fort Harrod, 1774), and the town maintains some heritage tourism around that identity. The county of 22,000 has some small industry and sits in the Bluegrass between Lexington and Danville. There's no real social scene for an outsider — the heritage tourism is day-tripper focused — but Danville and Lexington are both within driving distance, making this better than the isolated rural counties.
