Sixty-odd miles from the birthplace of the “Father of Bluegrass” music, Bill Monroe, situated under the many two-hundred-year-old shade trees of Audubon Mill Park (site of the original sawmill of naturalist John James Audubon), right on the banks of the mighty Ohio River – in the town that is able to boast that it is “On the Ohio but Never in It” (referring to the historic 1937 Flood in which Henderson, Kentucky was the only City on the Ohio not under water) – you will find perhaps the oldest on-going FREE Bluegrass festival in the United States – Bluegrass in the Park Folklife Festival.
