Welcome to Rockcastle County! Conveniently located on I-75, Mt. Vernon is nestled in the foothills of the Cumberland Mountains and is the perfect spot to relax and forget your troubles.  We invite you to enjoy the scenic beauty of the rolling hills that surround the Rockcastle River or visit one of our many attractions and see why folks keep coming back year after year.
 
Rockcastle County is rich in music heritage.  Mt. Vernon has been home to "Kentucky's Country Music Capital"®, Renfro Valley Entertainment Center, since 1939. 
We can also boast that we have one of the state's newest attractions, the Kentucky Music Hall of Fame and Museum. Auto racing, Appalachian history, hand made crafts, festivals, special events, music concerts, fishing and boating... something for everyone.  Come and experience our small town charm and hospitality, and we guarantee you'll come back and you'll bring someone with you so they can experience it too!
