Nestled among the hills and valleys of western Kentucky’s coal field region lies Muhlenberg County. 

Formed in 1798 from the neighboring counties of Logan and Christian, Muhlenberg County was named after General John Peter Gabriel Muhlenberg, a clergyman, soldier, and politician of the Colonial, Revolutionary, and Post-Revolutionary eras. The county seat is Greenville, KY and plays host to one of the country's most beautiful historic courthouses. 

Built in 1907, the courthouse  is the focal point of downtown Greenville.  The dome atop the courthouse is its crown jewel and is said to be the nation's largest open-air belfry and the state's largest clock tower.
