The county’s economy is primarily based on manufacturing, and its quaint attractions include antique stores, bed-and-breakfast inns and Civil War re-enactments. Danville was established in 1787 and has been featured in Time magazine as one of America’s most successful small towns.

More than 12,000 people are expected to turn out daily for the commemoration of
the 150th anniversary of the Battle of Perryville.
The Civil War re-enactment is set to occur Oct. 6-7, 2012, at the Perryville Battlefield State Historic Site, and on top of the thousands of spectators organizers estimate will be coming to watch the events unfold there will be 3,000-4,000 re-enactors.
“A study conducted a few years ago shows that every visitor to
Perryville Battlefield spends about $75 in the community during their stay, and that number will go up quite a bit during the 150th anniversary event,” said Joni House, who is preservation and program coordinator at Perryville Battlefield. “Perryville is a rural community where heritage tourism really counts for much of Boyle County’s bottom line for overall tourism. With maybe 12,000 people attending each day, the re-enactment is going to be exciting in many ways.”
Largest and BloodiestThe re-enactment will showcase
the Oct. 8, 1862 Battle of Perryville that historians regard as the largest and bloodiest Civil War battle that took place in Kentucky. There were nearly 40,000 men directly involved in the fighting, with casualties exceeding 7,500.
House says Perryville was considered a strategic Union victory since the battle ended with the outnumbered Confederacy eventually withdrawing all the way to Tennessee, resulting in the

row your Way Through PerryvilleMerchant’s row of Perryville, located on the banks of the Chaplin
river, is one of the oldest Civil War era business district still in tact. Once
serving as Perryville’s base, many of the row’s buildings date back to the
early 1840s, and now house retail shops and a Civil War museum.
After perusing Merchant’s row, tourists can walk along the streets
where soldiers from the Battle of Perryville came for treatment, and
where others are buried. The Karrick-Park House, which was used
as Confederate bivouac in 1862, is also located nearby.

Union retaining control of the critical border state of Kentucky for the remainder of the war.
“One of the attractions at today’s battlefield park is Loomis’s Heights, where visitors can walk to the highest ground and look left and right to get a good concept of how the battle f lowed,” she says. “Another interesting attraction is a Confederate Monument in our cemetery where Confederate casualties were buried in two large mass graves.”
Bloody, now BeautifulAlso on the grounds is The Museum
at Perryville Battlefield that was recently renovated and is considered to be one of the finest Civil War museums in the country. The grounds are also home to the H.P. Bottom House, which served as a hospital as long as six months after the battle.
“Bottom House today is privately owned and the interior is not open to the public, but the owners allow people to roam the front yard and take pictures
of the exterior,” House says. “As for other attractions, the 150th anniversary will feature a speaker symposium and there are 12 miles of hiking trails open to the public. The battlefield resulted in some of the bloodiest fields in Kentucky’s history, but today the landscape is some of the most beautiful.”
ancestors still live hereHouse says most residents of
Perryville recognize how the battlefield has impacted the community over the years, and they appreciate the tourism it generates.
“We are lucky that many of the families who were present in 1862 are still present in Perryville today in one form or another,” she says. “One last point about preparing for the 150th anniversary – we have been planning it since mid-2010. Our goal is to make sure that all re-enactors have a unique and comfortable experience so they put on a dazzling show that will be memorable for all who attend this interesting event.”

The MuseuM aT Perryville BaTTlefield
The Museum at Perryville Battlefield was recently renovated, with much credit going to volunteers from Perryville Volunteer Corps and the Friends of Perryville Battlefield. Providing the excellent graphics for the museum’s exhibits was Steadfast Studios.
The Confederate Memorial is a 20-foot-tall monument that stands inside the on-site cemetery. The cemetery consists of Confederate casualties who were buried in two mass graves.
Perryville Battlefield features 12 miles of hiking trails that are open to the public. The trails vary in degrees of hiking difficulty and are open year round.

Visitors to Danville will find tons of dinner and entertainment options awaiting them.
The community has seen a big business surge recently as new restaurants, micro-breweries and package stores have started popping up. The catalyst for the new activity came on March 2, 2010 with a referendum to a law regarding alcohol sales.
Previously, the law allowed alcohol sales by the drink only in restaurants with a minimum of 100 seats. Now, the city has gone fully “wet.”
Also, in June 2009, the Danville-Boyle County Economic Development Partnership successfully advocated to extend weekend alcohol sales in Danville. Now, with the ability to serve alcohol seven days a week, the community profits for a full
weekend from events, festivals, tourists and business visitors.
“Expanded alcohol sales have put Danville on the radar screen for many national restaurant chains that had not considered our location due to alcohol sales restrictions,” says Jody Lassiter, president and CEO of the Danville-Boyle County EDP.
The EDP’s primary objective in expanding alcohol sales was to increase options for downtown dining, retail and entertainment. As a result, the downtown business district alone has had an infusion of capital investment and job creation from three new restaurants, a microbrewery pub, a boutique spirit shop, and a soon-to-open fourth mediterranean style restaurant.
These investments are spurring other retail shops to locate downtown.

Other businesses that have been helped by the referendum include: V-The Market, The Hub, The Bottle Shoppe, Liquor Barn, Chills Wine and Spirits, 303 W, Danville Bowlarama and LiquorMart.
lore BrewingLore Brewing is one of the companies to benefit from
the law change. It was perfect timing for Lee and Ashley Rossman, who moved to Kentucky from Florida right around the time of the referendum. Lee owns the company and wife Ashley is the general manager.
“We are a microbrewery and homebrew supply shop. We have all the equipment and ingredients you need to make beer, wine and soda. We will have three flagship ales, seasonals and limited beers made in small batches only available at our brewery. Our beer will be available on tap at many local restaurants, in six packs at shops, and you can get growler fills at the brewery for a great price,” Ashley says.
She says she loves how Danville is “becoming a trendy hotspot and will continue to become great by doing new things and supporting local business.”
Bluegrass pizza & pubOpened on June 7, 2010, Bluegrass Pizza and

Just a casual stroll down Main Street in downtown Danville will prove that residents and neighbors of this quaint town don’t have to travel the world to shop like they did.
Need a cardboard animal head? How about a collage featuring Bob Dylan in flowered tights playing a large wooden guitar? One-of-a-kind hand-painted chair? Or how about baskets imported from Africa? Homemade lotion. Ugly Dolls. Vera Bradley laundry hampers. Reversible purses. It’s all available right here in Boyle County at shops like Myrtle’s Market on Main, Saffron’s Funky Finds, Lee Stephens, A&L Accessories and Yesterday’s Potions.
unique spaces and placesAlison Craig, owner of Myrtle’s Market on Main,
says what makes her store unique is that she has unusual items including hand-made and recycled things that might not appeal to your conservative
grandmother, but definitely your funky aunt.“I have customers who have lived in California or
New York and say this store reminds them of places they used to shop in the much bigger cities,” Craig says. “I have some of the exact same items you’d think you could only find in a big city.”
Kathy Wilson owns Saffron’s Funky Finds and says the name of her store pretty much sums it up. She also carries one-of-a-kind artisan pieces, as well as Mexican abstract folk art, bohemian-style clothes and colorful blown glass vases.
She says in addition to her selections, another key attribute to her store is being a bit off the beaten path and not actually in the downtown district.
“People say this shop reminds them of the little shops in the Highlands area in Louisville,” she says. “I think it’s kind of a surprise how fun this little shop is out in the middle of nowhere.”

they’re still standingIt’s no secret that the recent economic conditions
have forced hard times on even the biggest of retailers. Many of the smaller ones in Boyle County feel they’ve adapted a bit and have weathered the worst of the storm, which shows that people do still like to shop small and shop local.
Ann Clay Harris, owner of A&L Accessories, says people are catching on that there are some great shops and restaurants in downtown Danville.
“We are on a good track of improvement in our downtown,” she says. “The goal is to remind people to shop locally and we are headed in the right direction.”
Kathy Wilson says aside from great retailers, there’s a whole other reason to stay in town and shop.
“With gas prices the way they’ve been, our sales haven’t dropped dramatically with the economy and
I think that’s partly because people are staying local to shop,” she says.
In addition to great products and even better customer service, Craig says the local store owners have a good community and open lines of communication, which benefits everyone.
“Two doors down there is a store that is a little more traditional than mine, so if I see someone struggling to find what they want here, I won’t hesitate to send them down there and she does the same for me,” she says.
small packages to Big BoxesBoyle County’s shopping selection, however, isn’t
just limited to artsy boutiques. If a case of soda, power tools or jeans for back to school are what you need, the county is also home to big retailers such as Walmart, Lowe’s, JC Penney, and Goody’s.
“I don’t have to go out of town too much for stuff I need,” Craig says. “I make an effort to support local businesses and find what I need here. I understand I might pay a little bit extra, but if I’m not having to drive out of town it still saves me money.“
“the goal is to remind
people to shop locally
and we are headed in
the right direction.”
