July 9, 2024 -The Owen County Tourism & Convention Commission announced today that it will be closing the Owen County Visitors Center on August 15, 2024. The commission decided not to move forward with a new lease following the sale of the building.

The center opened in downtown Owenton in 2017 to provide information about local events, businesses and attractions to tourists and residents. The center added a retail outlet for local artists when it relocated to its current location -- 300 South Main Street -- in 2019. A sale of inventory will be conducted prior to the August 31 closure. Several items will remain available for online purchase after the center's closure.

"On behalf of the commission and myself, I want to thank all who supported the center through the years. The contributions to the center by local businesses and artisans, residents and tourists have been invaluable," said Owen County Tourism Executive Director Holly Bowling in announcing the closing.

The commission is looking at other options for promoting Owen County tourism and businesses and will announce those plans in the coming weeks.

Questions and information can be obtained from Executive Director Holly Bowling at (502) 514-1495.
