concrete obelisk in the world. Jefferson Davis State Historic
Site is a memorial to the famous Kentuckian born on this
site on June 3, 1808. A 351-foot obelisk constructed on a
foundation of solid Kentucky Limestone, marks the site, and
an elevator to the top gives visitors a bird’s eye view of the
countryside.

A place to come to... Experience the birthplace of one of the
nation’s most prolific writers. Recipient of the Pulitzer Prize
for All the King’s Men and two more for Warren’s work in
poetry. In 1986, named America’s first Poet Laureate. Guthrie
was Warren’s home until 1921. It is this border area of
Kentucky and Tennessee – its people, history and culture –
that colored much of Warren’s body of work. The writing can
not be separated from the man, nor the man from the home
of his youth.
