Lifestyle
Blending urban services and the delights of country living, Henry County is anchored by Eminence—also the area’s largest city. Distinguished as the only “wet” city in the county, Eminence has long been known for its distilleries. The city is ideally located just 70 miles northwest of Lexington and 65 miles southwest of Cincinnati, Ohio. Henry County was actually carved from Shelby County in 1798. The county was named for Patrick Henry, famous for the phrase, “Give me liberty or give me death.” The 1800s railroad that crossed the New Castle-Shelbyville Turnpike was the catalyst for the growth of the town, and the Eminence passenger depot still remains a downtown focal point.
