Welcome

hanson historic marker

Hanson, Kentucky has the distinction of being Kentucky's smallest historic district with a thriving art and antiques community. What we lack in size we make up for in charm and character. With the recent rehabilitation of the downtown Hanson area, our sidewalks are once again leading shoppers and visitors to our downtown stores. With architecture from the late 1870's - 1890's, what's outside is just as fantastic as the fabulous shops inside these architectual treasures. From art and antiques to biscuits and B-B-Q, Hanson Kentucky has something to offer for everyone.

Hanson, Kentucky has undergone a wonderful transformation from a town that was quickly deteriorating to one of renewed historical pride with a feel of days gone by. Reaching back into its vibrant history, Hanson is once again alive and has become a haven for artisians and antique collectors. Hanson Kentucky is definitely one of those places that you should visit if you love to eat so be sure to stop by one of our fine eateries while visiting downtown.
