Join us at the picturesque General Butler State Resort Park, where the meeting of the Kentucky and Ohio rivers creates a stunning setting for our session on Kentucky Waterways. This session explores the vital importance of waterways in Kentucky's history, geography, and economy.

Through the six principles of place-based education, participants will gain a deeper understanding of the role of waterways in shaping Kentucky's landscape and heritage.
