Travel: the Hatfield vs McCoy feud
2019-07-20 - Pikeville, KY - Photo by Tiffany Kessler, columbiamagazine.com
Hatfield vs McCoy, the most famous family Kentucky feud in its time. Media seemed to have a field day with the rural families constant arguing. The McCoys had a homestead in Pikeville, KY while the Hatfields were close by on the West Virginia state line. Like most cemeteries, McCoy family members are buried in Pikeville on a steep mountain. A constant flow of visitors from everywhere on the map stop to pay their respects to a family that seemed to experience nothing but turmoil and heartache. Makes an interesting day trip - pick up a self guided tour at the downtown visitor center for some true history. Comments | Permalink

There is a light at the end of the tunnel... even if that tunnel is under an enormous, famous mountain. At $280 million, the passage beneath Cumberland Gap National Historic Park is listed as one of the most expensive federal road projects to date. The tunnel connects Kentucky and Tennessee and spans .9 miles. Comments | Permalink
