Thomas Walker, an early American explorer and surveyor, traveled to Kentucky in 1750 primarily to explore the region and assess its potential for settlement and land development. He was part of a larger movement of settlers and land speculators interested in the rich resources and fertile lands of the area. Walker's expedition helped to map the territory and contributed to the westward expansion of the American frontier. His work laid the groundwork for future settlement and exploration in Kentucky.
