Awaken is about more than shopping. The entire experience is amazing, from the eclectic/vintage steam punk decor to the owner recommending clothing for you...I love every aspect.

My wife and I have had several couples massages and they have all been wonderful. Soothing sounds and aromas fill the room and your body turns to putty at the hands of the skilled masseuse. Can't wait to go back again.

Most people have never heard of Campbellsville, Ky. I am fortunate enough to have lived there for most of my life. I have been in and around the Green River Lake State Park for years, but my family has a nice Father's Day picnic there each year. It really is a beautiful, relaxing place. Be sure and get out on the lake if you can, you get such a new perspective from the water.

This is a 3 mile driving tour of Tebbs Bend Battlefield. Maps are available at tourism office in Campbellsville or at Green River Lake Park visitor center. The first stop is on Tebbs Bend Rd, there are 13 stops that are marked with interpretive signs. The road is paved, narrow and goes through beautiful farmland past currently occupied homes. The Green River Bridge is picturesque. The battle took place on July 4,1863 and was between members of the 25th Michigan Volunteer Infantry under Col. Orlando Moore and Confederate Calvary troops under Gen. John Morgan. Be sure to stop at the Confederate Cemetary (stop 11) and visit the Atkinson-Griffin house museum which was used as a Confederate hospital. The house is actually located in Green River Lake park where it was relocated in 1979. You can get a key to the house at the Green River Lake visitor center and walk to the house. We enjoyed this historic drive.

The 1840 Atkinson-Griffin Log House served as a Confederate hospital after the Battle of Tebbs Bend in 1863. Visitors can view photographs and Civil War memorabilia. The blood stains of soldiers still remain in the floor of an upstairs bedroom. The Atkinson-Griffin House can be viewed at the US Army Corp of Engineers Visitors Center at Green River Lake.

The cabin is a great Civil War story in Central Kentucky. The drive to get to the cabin is fun to see as well. There are blood stains on the floor upstairs from the battle.

The Green River Stables is a wonderful venue for a wedding! My great niece was married here Sept 10 2016. The event was planned for outside but weather moved us indoors. The room used for the ceremony is a rustic room , the decor suits that theme with wood tables some that looked antique. The owners are super nice and helped in every way possible. They even provided a RV for our bride to get ready in. The Stables are close to Green River State Park , a beautiful area for weddings or for a quiet family stay. If you are looking for a outdoor wedding site with a close reception area, this is your spot. If I could give more than 5 stars I would, they deserve it.

Not impressed with this mass of mostly junk. Like antiques but most of this stuff should have gone in the trash. Thought there might be a jem somewhere but certainly didn't find it here. Not sure it was even worth the time it took to...MoreHello Ginger, We apologize for your negative shopping experience at our Campbellsville location. Vendors bring in new items every day so hopefully you will try shopping with us again and find new items you enjoy. We appreciate any and all feedback.

I was born in Campbellsville and lived close to the Clay HImm mansion and forest area for many years. One of my son's high school prom gatherings was even held at the Clay Hill Mansion. I was visiting Campbellsville a couple of months ago, and took in some sights. This place is so gorgeous. The grounds are beautiful and the mansion is so stately. A must see if you're in the area.
