Mayor: Terry L. Cruse
On behalf of myself and the city council, I would like to welcome you to the city of Hodgenville.
We have recently completed the revitalization of our downtown district. This involved a major reconfiguration project aimed at beautifying the center of town, as well as redirecting the traffic flow, making downtown a safer place to travel. We have also just completed renovating the historic old First Baptist Church, turning it into a civic center and new city hall. The civic center offers a kitchen, dining area and an auditorium available to serve the private and public sector.
Hodgenville has a variety of churches that will cater to most religious beliefs. Our school system is second to none offering a wide variety of academic challenges as well as extra-curricular activities. We offer a Senior Citizens Center with a variety of events for our seniors. We also have a sports center that hosts a swimming pool, baseball and soccer for all ages. We have walking trail/park that is open year-around, allowing our residents to have a safe place to walk and play.
Being a lifelong resident of Hodgenville and LaRue County, I feel there is no better place to live and raise a family in Kentucky than Hodgenville.
If you are looking for a place to relocate or just to visit, our many attractions and historic sites make the trip to Hodgenville a must.
Our City Council
Schedule: City Council meets 2nd Monday of each month at 7:00pm, At the Hodgenville City Hall.
