Jenny Wiley was a pioneer woman in early American history, known for her remarkable story of survival. Born in 1789 in Virginia, she was captured by Native Americans during a raid in 1789. After enduring years of captivity, she managed to escape and return to her family. Her experiences inspired the creation of the Jenny Wiley State Resort Park in Kentucky, which honors her legacy. The park offers various recreational activities, including hiking and fishing, and serves as a reminder of her resilience and strength in the face of adversity.
