Kentucky Route 289 runs between US 68/KY 55 in Campbellsville, Kentucky in Taylor County to US 68 about 3 miles south of Lebanon, Kentucky in Marion County. It is the old route for US 68 and KY 55 going into rural communities, such as Hobson and Finley in Taylor County and Jessietown and New Market, Kentucky in Marion County. The road was designated on January 27, 1983, when US 68 was rerouted off of this road.
The route is 15.066 miles (24.246 km) long and is in some cases more expedient in going between Lebanon and Campbellsville than the scenic highway Route 68.
An earlier KY 289 was a road from Golden Pond northward to Eddyville, traversing parts of Trigg and Lyon Counties in western Kentucky.[2] In 1964/1965, most of the road was inundated due to formation of Lake Barkley. A small portion remained north from Golden Pond but that was decommissioned the next year, and it is now Forest Road 134.
