Have such a renewed interest in Cumberland Gap history. It began when I took my now 23 & 21 yr. old grandchildren on a trek of following Daniel Boone Wilderness Trail which began in Kingsport TN. We followed it to as far as Cumberland Gap and mesmerized by the sort of a Welcome Center on the right as you drive into the little town you see from the Pinnacle. I’ve since found out about the cave tours and have watched Adventure Archives hike to little towns in the Nat’l Park. I now want to take my 10 yr. old granddaughter on the same trip
My 3rd great grandfather was Burton Hensley. But my line, Silas, relocated to Leatherwood, ky and stayed there until the 60s. Now we are in Ohio. Ugh lol
Me too. Burton was my 3rd great grandfather. His son, silas moved his family to Leatherwood, ky and they stayed there until my grandpa moved to Ohio in the 60s.
One of my favorite hikes and one of the toughest trails around! I hiked this back in the winter in over a foot of snow! =) ua-cam.com/video/QkCEoSAAyVc/v-deo.html

Thank you for this lovely film. I so want to visit there.
Wow
Beautiful
Went there so many times growing and it never got old. Atually grew up with direct descendants from this settlement. Great people the Hensley's.

Great 👍
I wonder if this is where my family originated from? Hensley here....
I would love to know why they build their fences like that rather than in a straight line, can anyone tell me? 🤔
A zig zag fence allows for flexibility to go around trees or terrain and has no need to dig post holes.
@@Dusky672 thanks very much, that makes a lot of sense, of which it seems folks then had a lot more of than most of us now, sadly...
