When Loretta Lynn belted, "Well, I was born a coal miner's daughter/In a cabin on a hill in Butcher Hollow," it not only skyrockted "The Queen of Country Music" to additional fame outside the realm of country music fans, but it merited her the everlasting respect of every person connected directly or indirectly with coal mining or mountain life. Visit Butcher Hollow, located in scenic Johnson County. Loretta's brother, Herman Webb, is curator of the Butcher Hollow Home. « less

“A Lovely Place to Visit in Kentucky”

It was a real experience to visit Butcher Hollow, Kentucky and see the birthplace of Loretta Lynn.
Nestled in the mountains of eastern Kentucky the drive alone is very scenic . Lorettas brother runs the tours, and he is very down to earth and super nice ,dont be surprised to find him with his grandson in the field in front of the cabin tending to his mules. You get to go inside the cabin and see how mountain folks once lived,and see the many photos on display there.My family and I were surprised at how much we enjoyed out trip.
