My husband and I visited this location together and really enjoyed it, We thought it was amazing how small the house was and how many children they raised there. I enjoy hearing both Loretta and Crystal but my husband lovesssss Crystal Gayle. More

Visit a true landmark! Loretta Lynn's homeplace is an actual cabin that she grew up in located in the beautiful Kentucky hills. You get to tour her home just as it was when she was a child. Visit the family owned store and get a tour from her very own brother!!! More
