Bracken County, Kentucky
Bracken County hugs the Ohio River in northern Kentucky. It’s home to about 8,000 people, with Brooksville as the county seat.
The county got its name from William Bracken, a pioneer who discovered local springs. Augusta, the largest town, has some beautiful old river houses.
Bracken County is known for its tobacco farms, but these days, they’re branching out. The Augusta Ferry is still running but it’s one of the oldest in the state. If you like life by the river, this might be the place for you.
