Elizabethtown is locatedin Hardin County and about 45 minutes from Louisville. The town is regionally referred to as "E'town". It is notable as one along I-65 between Louisville and Nashville. The movie Elizabethtown (2005) was named after the town; most of the footage was filmed in Versailles and Oldham County because Elizabethtown didn't have the rolling hills and country roads needed for filming.
Elizabethtown offers a regional airport and is considering public transportaiton options. With a very active Parks and Recreation department there are several opportunities for fitness and activity both indoors and out.
