2023 Best Places to Live in Hardin County

Current Resident: The historic downtown area is full of charming shops and restaurants, and the Vine Grove Bluegrass Festival is a must-see event for music lovers. The nearby Bernheim Arboretum and Research Forest is a beautiful natural area with miles of hiking trails and educational exhibits. While the town could benefit from more investment in the downtown area and more events throughout the year, it's still a wonderful place to visit for a relaxing and authentic small-town experience....
