  Levi Jackson Wilderness Road State Park

  Over 800-acres comprising the Levi Jackson Wilderness Road State
  Park commemorate the life of Levi Jackson, the first judge in
  Laurel County. The park includes the Wilderness Road and Boone's Trace,
  which were both heavily used trails for pioneers entering Kentucky
  through the Cumberland Gap. Today, the site is home to the Defeated
  Camp Pioneer Burial Ground, McHargue's Mill, and the Mountain Life
  Museum. The museum is a pioneer settlement that
  consists of buildings which represent the pioneer time period of
  Kentucky history. These buildings were either moved to the site or
  are replicas of building that are consistent with that time period,
  and they house pioneer artifacts such as tools, products of
  agriculture, and household implements. Visitors to the Levi Jackson
  Wilderness Road State Park can also follow in the footsteps of the
  pioneers by accessing the 8 1/2 miles of hiking trails, some
  portions of which follow the original Wilderness Road and Boone's
  Trace trails. There are a variety of additional recreational

  Camp Wildcat

  Camp Wildcat was the first area in Kentucky to see action during
  the American Civil War. On October 21, 1861 Union troops faced
  Confederate troops that had moved in to Kentucky through the
  Cumberland Gap. Brigadier General Albin Scheopf of the Union army
  brought reinforcements to Colonel Garrard who was preparing Camp
  Wildcat as the Confederate troops under General Zollicoffer moved
  north from London toward Camp Wildcat. Although the battle was not
  costly in terms of battle casualties, diseases such as measles and
  fever which followed the battle took more lives. Today, the site is
  remote and various groups are trying to maintain it. There is a
  walking trail with monuments at the head of the trail which will
  lead you to the outlines of the trenches that remain from the
  Battle of Wildcat Mountain in 1861.
