Why Live in Williamsburg

Williamsburg, KY, is a small town that has seen significant changes in recent years. The private University of the Cumberlands attracts thousands of visitors annually, and the town's decision to allow alcohol sales has revitalized its downtown area, making it a popular destination for dining and nightlife. Williamsburg is bordered by the expansive Daniel Boone National Forest, offering numerous trails for hiking and horseback riding. The Mint Gaming Hall, opened in 2022, adds to the town's attractions. Despite these developments, Williamsburg maintains a slower-paced, small-town feel with a population of just over 5,000. Homes in Williamsburg are situated on both flat and hilly lots, with styles ranging from ranch-style and Craftsman bungalows to Colonial Revival homes. The downtown area features a variety of dining options, including The Hunt & The Harvest, The Brick Oven, and The Butcher's Pub, along with Torres Mexican Steakhouse. For shopping, residents can visit Walmart or the Whitley County Farmers’ Market. Outdoor enthusiasts can enjoy the Kentucky Splash Waterpark & Campground and the nearby Cumberland River Campground. Williamsburg City School offers career prep courses and dual-credit classes in partnership with the University of the Cumberlands, while Whitley Central Intermediate School is highly rated. The town hosts the annual Old Fashioned Trading Days, a festival with craft and food vendors, live music, and activities for children. Interstate 75 provides easy access to Knoxville, located about 70 miles south, and the McGhee Tyson Airport. For medical care, residents often travel to Baptist Health Corbin, 14 miles north.
