Owensboro, Kentucky

Bison Statue in Owensboro, Kentucky

Owensboro, Kentucky is a very special and beautiful city. My family is proud to call Owensboro home. We have wonderful restaurants, plenty of shopping opportunities, and there’s always something going on – sporting events, concerts, Broadway shows, the BBQ Festival, and Winter Wonderland just to name a few.  Owensboro’s the smallest big town you’ll ever hope to find.  Oh! And we’re the BBQ Capital of the world and… you’ll understand why we’re proud of this…. Owensboro is the birthplace of NASCAR’s Waltrip brothers and the greatest actor of all time, Johnny Depp.

Owensboro is very, very proud of those hometown boys!

Enjoy the different pictures of Owensboro in the photo album below and be sure to see the links at the bottom for more Owensboro pictures.

    So glad to find your site! My family has been in Owensboro for generations, but I only get to visit, and mostly spend my time in the KY room at the library, with a trip for some BBQ. Gotta check out the parks and attractions. My family names are Birk, Griffith, Overstreet, Glover, Landrum, Clark and Lily.

    Hi, Cindy! I love the Kentucky room in our beautiful library – it helps me with a lot of my research for Genuine Kentucky. As for BBQ, I also spend a lot of time at BBQ restaurants in town! = Joi (“Joy”)
