Russellville is a city located in Logan County in southwestern Kentucky. As of the 2010 census, the population was 6,947 residents. Russellville bills itself as "the Oldest Town in South Central Kentucky," settled around 1790 and incorporated in 1798. The town offers walking tours of two historic districts listed on the National Register of Historic Districts; the Downtown district was one of the earliest historic districts accepted into the National Register and features several magnificent examples of antebellum homes and a variety of other buildings. The Bottoms district is one of the most unique areas that tells the story of primarily African American life in Kentucky. Other attractions are the 1817 Saddle Factory Museum, the West Kentucky African American Heritage Center (c. 1810) and the Bibb House Museum (c. 1817). The Saddle Factory museum is the oldest factory still standing in the state of Kentucky, built in 1817. The four-story structure includes two stories of work areas and the attic, which was home to 30 indentured servants. Original handwriting and drawings made by the indentured servants are still intact in the attic. Russellville is also home to the annual Tobacco and Heritage Festival.
