Join us in Pineville as we roll out the welcome mat for the Boone Trace hikers! The celebration kicks off with a reception at the historic Bell Theater at 3 PM—come meet the hikers and show your support as they retrace the footsteps of early pioneers.

At 4 PM, hikers will set off on a community walk from the theater to the “Bunny Bread Building” at the historic Cumberland Ford. Along the way, we’ll explore the legacy of this natural river crossing—once a vital gateway for Daniel Boone and countless pioneers heading west.

At the Cumberland Ford, Pineville Mayor Shawn Fugate will offer a warm welcome and share a few words about the significance of this landmark in Kentucky’s frontier history.

Come be part of this meaningful moment that blends past and present—honoring the trailblazers who shaped our region.
