John James Audubon State Park in Henderson, Kentucky, preserves both John James Audubon’s connection to the area and a remarkably intact New Deal landscape. Audubon lived in Henderson from 1810 to 1819, exploring nearby forests and developing the wildlife studies that later brought him fame. Beginning in 1934, Civilian Conservation Corps workers, aided by the Works Progress Administration and local supporters, transformed the Wolf Hills area with lakes, trails, roads, and stone buildings including the Audubon Museum. The museum became the park’s centerpiece and now holds one of the world’s largest collections of original Audubon art. The park also protects extensive woodland and remains significant for its blend of natural, artistic, and historic value.
