Love is in the air ... and, speaking of air, the great outdoors is one of the things Pulaski Countians love most about their hometown. Whether they’re basking in the sunshine at Lake Cumberland, strolling under the trees in the county’s many wooded areas, or waving at a passing neighbor on the street, Pulaskians are smitten with the landscape which surrounds them.

The place I love most in Pulaski County is my church, East Somerset Baptist. It is my lighthouse when everything seems to be going wrong. I can go there for mercy, peace, love and overwhelming compassion.

I love Pulaski County for its beautiful rural landscape. We have rolling hills, deep valleys, flat land, and a breathtaking lake. The charm of Somerset and the other five cities within our county bring people here from all over the country. Our friendliness and hospitality make people want to belong to Pulaski County. I’m proud to be a native!

I love Pulaski County mostly because of its people! The warmth and kindness of our people always touches my heart. I’ve traveled to many cities and states and am always eager to return to the southern hospitality of our community. The sign at our entrance on East Hwy. 80 says it all... Welcome Home. I can't imagine living anywhere else!
