Bracken County is home to Augusta, named one of the top 10 historic sites in the state by Kentucky¿s foremost historian, Dr. Thomas D. Clark. Early historians referred to Augusta as a ¿beautiful situation¿ where the Ohio River flows below its banks for 9 miles without bends.

Those who followed brought with them a desire for a cultivated life. The early trustees founded private schools, Bracken Academy, and the first Methodist college in the world so that their sons and daughters could receive a superior education.
