LEVI JACKSON WILDERNESS ROAD STATE PARK
Hike in the footsteps of pioneers on two historic trails, the Wilderness Road and Boone?s Trace. These thoroughfares carried more than 200,000 settlers from the eastern colonies into the western frontier between 1774 and 1796. But danger lurked along the way; McNitt?s Defeat, Kentucky?s worst Indian massacre, occurred here in 1786.
The park encompasses over 800 acres and includes the Defeated Camp Pioneer Burial Ground, McHargue's Mill and the Mountain Life Museum, which brings visitors into a pioneer settlement.
