Description
Nestled in the heart of south-central Kentucky, Glasgow enjoys a reputation as "the biggest little town in Kentucky." From its pioneer days to the advent of the 21st century, Glasgow has been known as a progressive center for agriculture, commerce, education, and medicine. The community has been home to many of distinction, including an early African American mayor, two governors, a world-renowned musician, a winner of multiple Pulitzer Prizes, a decorated U.S. Air Force general, the president of a major television network, and a leader in the control of tuberculosis. Equally important to the tale of Glasgow's past are all the ordinary folks who were paramount in making the community the solid, thriving locale that it remains.
