The Chamber Releases a Piece of Radcliff History
Radcliff, by definition, is a "young" town. With its 50th anniversary just a few years away, Radcliff is fortunate to have in its city limits one of the oldest standing structures in Hardin County, the Haycraft Inn.
The Haycraft Inn was built in 1814 by Coleman Lewis, a War of 1812 veteran, and later sold to Daniel Haycraft who operated it as a popular stagecoach stop on the Louisville and Nashville Turnpike in the years before the Civil War. In addition to a souvenir in the form of a cannon ball still lodged in an exterior wall of the structure, a drop-out registration desk, which was used for guests to check into the inn, and two original staircases remain in the old house. In spite of railroads and resulting decline in stagecoach travel, the inn was still operating in 1884, and became a private home by 1917. The Haycraft Inn is listed on the Kentucky and National Registers of Historic Places, and is privately owned and occupied as a residence.

Local artist, Theresa Shelton, was commissioned by the Radcliff-Hardin County Chamber of Commerce to paint the structure, which commemorates the rich history of Northern Hardin County.
