NATIONAL HEADQUARTERS

The United States Army Cadet Corps (USAC) purchased the historic campus of the former Millersburg Military Institute on September 5th,2008, to utilize it for the following purposes:

• National Cadet Training Center (NCTC)
• USAC National Headquarters
• Headquarters Company
• USAC Annual Training Site
• Residential military high school and junior college
• Kentucky State Police Recruit Training Center
• Training Site for other Cadet Organizations

NCTC sits on 18 acres in the Bluegrass Region of north-central Kentucky, in the town of Millersburg, Bourbon County. The property is bounded to the northwest by KY-68, to the southeast by railroad tracks and open land, and to the north and south by residential properties.

The school was founded in 1893 on the property of the former Kentucky Wesleyan College and moved to its current location in 1920. Upwards of 250 students were enrolled during the school’s peak operating times; however, class sizes steadily declined through the early 2000s, resulting in the school’s closure in April 2006.

The strategic direction for utilization of the property includes the NCTC and our vision for ongoing partnerships with local communities (camps, special interest activities, conference and retreat facilities, etc.) as well as reconstitution of a residential military high school and junior college.

The site is currently being used as the administrative headquarters for USAC and is under going renovation.The USAC’s Centential Gala Celebration on April, 23-26, 2009 was held here with great sucess. USAC’s Annual Training programs are held here throughout the summer.
