Long before Buckhorn Lake was created and the state park established in 1964, a small community flourished for many generations here, along the middle fork of the Kentucky River.

They were led to this remote area under the guidance of Daniel Boone. By the late 1800's Bowlingtown was a thriving community of hundreds. There was a post office, school, churches, grocery, saw mill, blacksmith and the Frontier Nursing Service. Local officials included a sheriff, magistrate, justice of the peace, and tax commissioner. The citizens were primarily farmers and coal miners. They were known to be patriotic, honest, kind, and well-educated people.
In 1960, when the construction of Buckhorn Lake began, Bowlingtown had to be abandoned and families relocated. Family graves (873) were re-interred to Buckhorn Cemetery. All were sad to leave their homeland of seven generations. so Where you see water was once The town called Bowlingtown in KY.

「This cute home was clean and equipped with all necessary items. It’s a little over half an hour from the gorge and we always enjoy eating at the Mexican restaurant when in Irvine. There's a small grocery store in town but if you want a bigger selection, I'd recommend going to the Kroger in Richmond. I was traveling with my kiddos and we also found a unexpected park (KY river park) less than 10 min away. 」
