Mountain Homeplace recreates life in Johnston County from 1850 to 1875. The historic buildings assembled here include a one-room school-house, a blacksmith shop, and other buildings and implements used to operate a farm. Interpreters provide information about the Civil War in this area of Kentucky. An award-winning video shown at the visitors center features actor Richard Thomas, who spent summers with his family in Johnson County during his youth.
