General Location Information

The Rousey Home Place is located in central Kentucky, approximately 50 miles south-southwest of Lexington.

It is about 15 miles south-southwest of Danville, KY, and near the towns of Junction City and Hustonville.

The property is just outside an area known as Butchertown, near the county line of Casey and Boyle counties.

The Old Rousey Homeplace sits along Carpenter Creek Road / Butchertown Road (these are essentially the same road).

Look for a rock entrance leading up a hill. Once at the top, take the left fork in the road to reach the Rousey Cabin.
