The county seat of Maysville, where many soldiers hailed from or enlisted, is situated along the northern edge of the county, along the river.

Today Maysville also incorporates the former town of Washington, KY. Washington, KY is known for being the place Harriet Beecher (later Stowe) visited where she witnessed the horrifying auction of enslaved women, men and children that further inspired her abolitionist book, Uncle Tom's Cabin. The Harriet Beecher Stowe Slavery to Freedom Museum in Old Washington, KY (in Maysville) may still be visited today.

Another common place of enlistment is Greenupsburg, KY.  Greenupsburg is now called Greenup, and it was established as the county seat of Greenup County, KY, which is two counties east of Mason County.
