Step into a defining moment of Kentucky’s frontier story as the Boone Trace 250 Relay Hike arrives in Bimble for a special midday event steeped in trailblazing history.

Hosted by the Knox Historical Museum, this gathering offers a rare opportunity to visit the legendary “Fork in the Road”—a little-known site tucked away in the nearby woods where, in 1796, the historic Wilderness Road split eastward, diverging from Boone Trace as settlers continued their westward push.

At high noon, hikers and history enthusiasts will come together to mark this pivotal junction in America’s migration story—where choices made on foot helped shape the direction of a young nation.

Come explore, connect, and stand where paths once parted—at the very crossroads of Kentucky’s past.
