First
American Roads, Rails and Rivers:
Warren County Then and Now
From settlement to present day, modes and means of transportation
have been important to the development of Warren County, Kentucky.
Roads and rivers brought settlers to the region as well as goods
to and from market. Bowling Green, the county seat, first flourished
because of its location on the Barren River and that river's link
to the Mississippi River and new Orleans market. The county grew
as turnpikes, railroads, state highways, parkways, the I-65 interstate
and airways came through Bowling Green.
This bicentennial exhibition presents the county's history through
the themes of business and industry, religion, education, war, health
and medicine, and entertainment. An official Bowling Green Warren
County Bicentennial Event. Co-sponsored by Houchens Markets and
the Margie Helm Library Fund with additional support from Humana.
