Hodgenville Real Estate
Hodgenville is a quick ten minute drive on the Lincoln Parkway away from I-65 and Elizabethtown. It is a great place for people to live who like the idea of a quiet, historic community where people know each other and enjoy life in a small town setting.
Tourism is an important part of life in Hodgenville. Abraham Lincoln, our sixteenth president, was born on a farm just south of town. The Abraham Lincoln Birthplace National Historic Site draws thousands of guests each year. Hodgenville is a simple town with strong character, which seems perfectly fitting for the place that gave us one of our country’s greatest leaders.
A statue of Lincoln, located on the town square, is the focal point of downtown Hodgenville. This area got a fresh, new look in 2011 as part of the nation’s celebration of Lincoln’s 200th birthday. Since 1954, every Saturday night has found people making their way to Hodgenville to enjoy the Lincoln Jamboree, one of the nation’s best country music shows. Owner and emcee, Joel Ray Sprowles, is a master at providing quality, family entertainment. Strong schools are a source of pride in Hodgenville. Local students have consistently achieved high test scores and these scores continue to improve as teachers and administrators embrace new methods and take responsibility for taking good schools and making them better.
Historic homes with character are a major part of the downtown area. They combine with newer subdivisions to give people plenty of choices when they decide to make their home in Hodgenville.
