Cobblestone Path, Historic path in Bardstown, United States
The stone pathway stretches approximately 350 feet in length, varying between 28 and 12 feet in width along the Bardstown Historic District.
Local citizens constructed this path in 1785 under a labor law that required males aged 16 to 50 to participate or pay a daily fine.
The path incorporated sections of the Wilderness Road and received funding from both Kentucky legislature and United States Congress before 1800.
The remaining section extends between Flaget Avenue and Broadway, positioned across from the Bardstown Civil War Museum for walking tours.
Natural limestone outcroppings and boulders line the path, with dolomite limestone paving stones measuring between six and ten inches thick.
