Ferguson blends small-town ease with quick access to big-lake adventure and regional culture. Set just southeast of Somerset in Pulaski County, the community’s rail-town roots still echo in its quiet streets and early-20th-century homes. Weekends often lead toward the water, where anglers, golfers, and boaters find plenty to do at General Burnside Island State Park, a gateway to Lake Cumberland’s coves and marinas, and an easy drive through Burnside. History buffs can trace pivotal Civil War moments at Mill Springs Battlefield National Monument near Nancy, then head back for dinner in nearby local spots around Somerset’s courthouse square.
Families appreciate everyday practicality: students are served by Pulaski County Schools, and adults can upskill close to home at Somerset Community College. When the temperature climbs, SomerSplash Waterpark is a summer rite of passage, while The Center for Rural Development anchors year-round arts, leadership programs, and conferences. Music lovers circle the calendar for the Master Musicians Festival, which brings nationally known acts to town and underscores the area’s deep creative streak.
From tidy starter homes to roomy lots, Ferguson offers a range of housing options with a slower pace that still keeps you close to essentials, employers, and outdoor recreation. Whether you’re buying your first place or preparing to sell, Agent Pronto can connect you with a trusted local real estate expert to make your move seamless.
