William Whitley, who moved to the Kentucky frontier in 1775, constructed this brick house between 1787 and 1794. The house, known as Sportsman's Hill, was constructed in the Flemish bond pattern. The Whitley Park Association and other local civic clubs restored the house between 1948 and 1955. It became a Kentucky state park on February 25, 1938, and is now known as the William Whitley House State Historic Site,.
