Upton blends small-town ease with big-time access, thanks to its spot just off I-65 between Elizabethtown and the birthplace of Lincoln in Hodgenville. Weekends can swing from quiet walks at the local park to day trips for cave tours at the vast Mammoth Cave National Park, with details straight from the National Park Service at Mammoth Cave National Park, or a history-filled outing to the solemn Memorial Building at Abraham Lincoln Birthplace National Historical Park. Families appreciate the community feel and the value of homes with room to breathe, while commuters find quick routes to jobs in Glendale, including the transformational BlueOval SK battery complex at BlueOval SK.
Education options are anchored by two strong districts, with addresses on either side of the county line feeding into Hardin County schools at Hardin County Schools and LaRue County schools at LaRue County Schools.
