Buying a Home in Fort Campbell, Kentucky

Fort Campbell is located in Christian County

Fort Campbell lies on the Kentucky- Tennessee border between the towns of Hopkinsville, KY and Clarksville, TN, and is about 60 miles northwest of Nashville on I-24. In this location personnel at the Fort share in the heritage of two states rich in historical and natural endowments.

Within an hour drive of the post are numerous outdoor recreation areas such as "Land Between the Lakes." On post are a variety of activities.

Both Kentucky and Tennessee were among the earliest states to be settled west of the Appalachians, and the local area abounds with interesting historical sites dating from the early days of settlement in the late 1700's, through the Civil War era to the present. On post are more than 4,100 family housing units, and social, religious, and recreational activities to support these and off-post families. Fort Campbell has a large post exchange-commissary complex to facilitate shopping, seven dependent schools on-post, recreation accommodations for all seasons, and a new modern hospital for 24-hour medical service, ( to name just a few available services.)

The 101st Airborne Screaming Eagles stationed at Fort Campbell are members of the only air assault division in the world, hence the designation 101st Airborne Division (Air Assault). The designation indicates that the helicopter is the primary means of transportation for the division. Gone are the days of the helicopter as a taxi; tactics, logistics, and training are now all based upon the helicopter and solders forming a coordinated combat team. We're very proud of our role in the vanguard of this field.
