Williamsburg is the county seat of Whitley County, located in the southeastern region of Kentucky, United States. This small city, established in 1818, sits at the foothills of the Cumberland Mountains and along the Cumberland River.

The area reflects the rich cultural heritage of the Appalachian region, with strong ties to traditional mountain music, crafts, and local customs. Williamsburg is home to the University of the Cumberlands, a private university founded in 1889, which serves as a significant cultural and educational center for the region.

The city's location in the heart of Kentucky's historical coal mining region has influenced its development and cultural identity, while its proximity to the Daniel Boone National Forest provides opportunities for outdoor recreation and natural heritage preservation.

    Love Marbles Children’s Museum, the kids all had an amazing time. The only thing I have a problem with is charging the parents or guardian’s admission, I mean of course you have to be there watching your kids but you’re actually not doing anything
