My mother was born and raised there. She was born in the 30's. She told many stories of being dirt poor and having to quit school in the 5th grade to work in the tobacco fields to help put food on the table for the very large family. People picked on them. Life was not so happy for her during those years. She could not wait to get away from there. She moved as a teen to Indiana. I also lived there for a brief period with my grandparents. I have very fond memories of my time there. My grandparents were so good to me. I loved going to school in Burkesville. My time was in the early 60's. The teachers really interacted with their students. We acted out so many nursery rhymes. They played games with us as a group at recess, like farmer in the dale, red rover, red rover, etc. I loved it. I so missed the school when I moved back to Indiana with my mom. Indiana schools was not as much fun for me. My grandparents and most of the family members are gone now. I do have a few family members still living there. I rarely ever go there now. But Burkesville will always have a special place in my heart.

Gas higher than Southeast PA! Wow!
My ex husband wanted to "honey moon" here, It was New Year's Eve 1983, Hell was froze over and I had married the devil.
Literally the most nothing town in Ky, entire county barely has 7,000 people I believe.

I live here and its more of retirement town for older people
My family originated from that area so I embrace anything in the general vicinity. Only be once though. Beautiful country
You 1000% right I live here
Worst mistake I've made in my life was buying a place here! It I could get my money I've put into this place I'd take it and never look back
