Royal Spring Park, Historic spring park in Georgetown, United States.
Royal Spring Park contains a natural spring that flows through the grounds, with wooden decks providing views of the water and surrounding greenery.
The park gained recognition as the site where Reverend Elijah Craig first distilled bourbon whiskey in 1789, marking the beginning of Kentucky's spirits industry.
The preserved log cabin built by former slave Milton Leach in 1874 functions as a museum, displaying artifacts from Georgetown's early settlement period.
Visitors can reserve the large picnic shelter through Georgetown-Scott County Parks & Recreation for gatherings, with parking available on South Water Street.
The spring continues to supply water to over 13,000 customers through Georgetown Municipal Water Service, maintaining its original purpose from the 1700s.
