A note from

Keith Chaffin

Lawrence County

Tourism Director

Thanks for visiting Lawrence County Tourism. I have worked and volunteered with a great group of people for 7 years now. I believe we have the best kept secret in Eastern Kentucky. Yatesville Lake is a great place to just bring your family and enjoy yourself. Louisa is my birthplace and has great mom & pop places to eat. Take your time and enjoy yourself. I hope to see you soon. Keith Chaffin Director

May 18 , 2012 Thanks for visiting our web site. Whether you’re a transient or a local, Lawrence County Kentucky is a great place to Live, Work and Play. I would first like to introduce myself. My name is Keith Chaffin and I am the Chairman of Lawrence County Tourism Commission. The Commission is an arm of the Lawrence County Fiscal Court. I was born and raised in Lawrence County. I am proud to call this place my home. The Tourism Commission is made up of a total of 7 people. We meet each month on the second Monday at 5PM on the second floor of The Fred M Vinson Museum. Our Tourism office is located at 315 East Madison Street. The pasts commission members are: Karen Barnette, Susie Chambers, Tonya Castle, Mike Sullivan, Debbie Hill, Brenda Tussey and myself. The purpose of the committee is to provide advertising and promotion of local community events. This includes working with the state tourism commission to help with matching funds to advertise our County and Cities all over the State of Kentucky. We would love for you to visit. Check out everything our web site has to offer. If there are questions that cannot be answered, please let me know. We can mail you brochures if needed. Please stop in again for updates to this site.
