Ohio County, Kentucky

Ohio County is in western Kentucky, and no, it’s not in Ohio. Hartford is the county seat and is home to the Ohio County Bluegrass Festival.
The county is home to Bill Monroe, the “Father of Bluegrass,” and you can feel his influence in the local music scene.
The Bill Monroe Homeplace in Rosine is a must-visit for fans of bluegrass music. The county’s landscape is a mix of farmland and former coal fields, with U.S. Route 231 cutting through it.
