Carpenter's Rock House is a large rock shelter in Wayne County, Kentucky, United States. It is named for Benjamin Carpenter, an American Revolutionary War veteran who settled ca. 1785[1][2] on Carpenter Fork[3][4] of Otter Creek in the central part of the county, which borders Tennessee to the south.
