Taylorsville - Spencer County Make Yourself at Home - for a Day or a Lifetime Taylorsville was established in the early 1800s, a time when people appreciated the simple things in life: a quiet day fishing on the lake, a picnic under a tree overlooking the rolling countryside, the friendly competition of a pick-up ball game. Today Taylorsville still offers you these same idyllic options - and a few that 19th-century folks never could have dreamed of, such as U.S.G.A-rated golf, exciting water sports and much more.
