Hopkins County Kentucky is indeed a great place to be.

Located in western Kentucky, Hopkins County is a wonderful place to visit. With a rich history and vibrant community spirit, Hopkins County offers something for everyone. Whether you are looking to relax and get away from it all with a lazy kayak paddle down the Tradewater River or you are seeking weekend of arts and fine dining, we have it all. Residents are always eager to content that we have the best of both worlds: the quaint atmosphere of a small southern town with many of the amenities of a larger city.

If you time your visit just right, you might find yourself in the middle of one of the many festivals or activities, including the Hanson Villiage Arts Festival, the Antique Tractor and Mule Days Festival, Dawson Springs Bar-B-Que Fest, Morton's Gap Coalfield Festival, Friday Night Live in downtown Madisonville or Return to Bethlehem, a Christmas season pageant. Other popular attractions include the Glema Mahr Center for the Arts with such entertainment as Marie Osmond or Garrison Keillor, the Anne P. Baker Gallery, Western Kentucky Speedway, and the log cabin of former Governor Ruby Laffoon.

The Hopkins County Tourist & Convention Commission enthusiastically invites you to get away with us for a few days to relax and enjoy the good things in life.
