The Fielding Bradford House is an historic house built on a tract of land near North Elkhorn and Cane Run Creeks in Scott County, Kentucky.[2] The house was originally owned by Fielding Bradford and is an example of an early Kentucky weatherboarded log house.[1] The property was added to the U.S. National Register of Historic Places on December 4, 1973.

Fielding Bradford was the brother of printer and early Kentucky settler John Bradford.[3] He left working on the Kentucky Gazette in the spring of 1788 when he married Eleanor Smith Barbee and moved to Scott County where he became a political and military leader. He served in the Kentucky General Assembly as a State Representative in 1802, 1803, 1808, 1809 and 1811. During the War of 1812 he was quartermaster for George Trotter's Regiment of Kentucky Mounted Militia.[4] He was also a county court judge.[1]
