                                                               Central Park Fountain, Downtown Henderson, Kentucky  

 

                    Thanks to the Henderson Downtown Revitalization Project, this picturesque fountain was erected 

                    in 2003. The original fountain began losing parts due to weathering and vandalism in the 1920s. 

After numerous failed attempts for funding, this reproduction, that is faithful to the original, now 

stands as a focal point of Downtown Henderson, providing a quiet, soothing atmosphere for

 visitors to take refuge from the stresses of life or to celebrate its exciting moments. 

Originally, Central Park was named Transylvania Park since the land for the park was

a gift from the Transylvania Company.
