As the road heads southwest from Owensboro and the city starts to fade into the distance, it would be easy to miss the rural community of Moseleyville. But for many of its residents, this is its biggest selling point. Ten miles from the self-proclaimed Bluegrass Music Capital of the World, Moseleyville is prized for its seclusion and safety. Well-maintained homes sit in cozy neighborhoods surrounded by cornfields, pastures and towering grain silos. This rustic atmosphere and the familiar comforts of suburbia draw retirees and those looking for a simpler home life.
The Bluegrass Hall of Fame frequently features performances and lessons from professionals.
Moseleyville is a quiet area filled with lots of farm land and friendly people.

Farmhouse-style homes with acreage
Moseleyville's neighborhoods could be divided into two halves: the north and the south. Northern Moseleyville is a traditional suburb with ranch-style homes on eighth-acre lots. The small residential areas are connected by sidewalks shaded with a steady line of oak and maple trees. A mobile home park is nearby, with single- and double-wide manufactured homes clustered on gravel roads. The southern side of the neighborhood is less connected, with farmhouse-style craftsmen sitting on larger lots, often with multiple acres of space. Ranch-style and other midcentury homes tend to start in the low $100,000s and peak in the high $100,000s, while homes with acreage start in the mid-$100,000s and can hit the high $200,000s.

Monster trucks at Windy Hollow Speedway
Since opening in 1970, the Windy Hollow Speedway has hosted weekly races, tournaments and monster truck exhibitions every Sunday. For a more low-key sporting event, locals head to Panther Creek Golf Club for 18 holes set against the woodland backdrop of Panther Creek Park.
The Western Kentucky Botanical Garden hosts plants and people alike with live music, instructor-led Tai Chi and over 8 acres of colorful flowers and vegetation that seem to explode from the background. “People always tell us how unexpected this place is,” says Laura Strehl, the garden's executive director. “How all that color just pops up out of nowhere.”
Residents go to Steele Stadium to root for Kentucky Wesleyan College's football team.
Panther Creek Park has a stocked fishing lake, an 18-hole disc golf course and ball diamonds.

Karaoke at O'Bryan's Bar and Grill
Windy Hollow Restaurant serves a breakfast buffet to help race fans get their energy up before an exhibition. There’s plenty to choose from, but locals swear by their freshly made doughnuts. O’Bryan’s Bar and Grill spices up the usual tavern food menu with live entertainment, karaoke night and events to celebrate everything from Halloween to Independence Day. The Kentuckiana Livestock Market holds regular auctions for cattle, goats and sheep and has serviced the local area for over 70 years. Wesleyan Park Plaza is a standard go-to for chain restaurants, retail and grocery stores like Kroger.

Basketball at the Owensboro Sportscenter
The Riverpark Center is one of the biggest locations in Owensboro for live entertainment, featuring touring musicals, game shows like Wheel of Fortune and performances by the Owensboro Symphony. Meanwhile, the Owensboro Sportscenter is the home of the Kentucky Wesleyan College Panthers basketball teams and has been a bustling sports venue since 1949. From August to October, the Owensboro Regional Farmers’ Market becomes a favorite destination for those buying fresh, locally grown produce, meats and baked treats.
Easy access to Owensboro
Route 81 offers a straight shot into Owensboro, passing the Owensboro-Daviess County Regional Airport and the Owensboro Health Healthpark on the 10-mile stretch into downtown. Moseleyville is too far out for the Owensboro Transit System to reach, so residents need a car for most travel.
