William Whitley State Historic Site Dubbed the "Guardian of Wilderness Road," the house was a gathering spot for early Kentuckians, including George Rogers Clark and Daniel Boone.

Group Field Trips

William Whitley House State Historic Site is located in one of the original counties in our state -- Lincoln -- and is a must see for students. A guided tour of the historic home takes the students on a journey back to the lifestyle of our founding fathers. Information can be tailored for age appropriateness and classroom curriculum requirements. Student's minds will be challenged to compare and contrast life on the frontier compared to the life that they have grown up to know. Group rates are available.

The site has a large picnic shelter and spacious playground area. Several schools choose to bring students here as a rewards day for specific classroom accomplishments and end of school year field trips. Call 606-355-2881 for information.
