The Fort Boonesborough Townsite Historic District is located along the Kentucky River in northern Madison County, Kentucky. The District contains one standing structure and twelve historic archaeological sites associated with the late eighteenth and early nineteenth century fort and town of Boonesborough. One of the archaeological sites also contains a prehistoric Fort Ancient village which is included in this nomination. Just under half of the district is included within the bottomland portion of Ft Boonesborough State Park; the remainder is in private ownership and used for agricultural purposes. The district encompasses approximately 352 acres. Included in the district is the archaeological site of the stockaded fort built in 1775 by Judge Richard Henderson, Daniel Boone and other members of the Transylvania Land Company. This fort served as a defensive sanctuary, communication center, temporary residence and political seat for hundreds of settlers who entered Kentucky in the 1770s- 1790s. Along with the fort, eleven archaeological sites, one standing structure (Lisle House), one freshwater spring, a ferry location and a creek valley ("hollow") containing mineral and freshwater springs represent the ambitious but ill-fated attempts to develop a town around the fort. - US NRHP
