Travel: Old Washington, Kentucky If you drive to Campbellsville and hang a right on Highway 68, you can travel Northwest all the way to Ohio, crossing the Ohio River on the William H. Harsha Bridge outside Maysville, before KY 68 terminates at the intersection with Ohio Highway 52. Just before you reach the river, you'll pass by Washington, Kentucky, one of the earliest settlements in Kentucky and also one of the earliest American settlements west of the Appalachian Mountains. Washington was founded in 1786 by Arthur Fox, a Revolutionary War soldier from Virginia, and William Wood, a Baptist preacher, also from Virginia. The first trustees included Daniel Boone. The land on which it was laid out was purchased by Fox and Wood from Simon Kenton, the original explorer and settler of the area who at that time lived close by. The town was founded as Washington, Virginia since in 1786 Kentucky did not yet exist as a separate state. It is believed that Washington is the first settlement named for George Washington. The town has grown little since the 1840s. Much of the old part of Washington remains as it did in the late 18th century and early 19th century, with many log cabins remaining. There are five museums including the Albert Sidney Johnson/Bull Nelson House, the Marshall Key House where Harriet Beecher Stowe stayed when she saw the slave auction and a 1787 log cabin called Mefford's Fort.
