My mom is 90 yrs old, and Loretta's life is very similar to hers. My grandpa was a coal miner in KY, there were 12 kids in the family, and eventually our family moved to Indiana. My uncle did not want to work in coal mines! I remember when mom saw the movie the first time, it brought tears to her eyes.
My family is from Hindman they lived there for years until my grandfather heard about ROCKWELL company in Ohio. That plant is no longer there. I'm back in Ky living the dream😄
You two are absolutely awesome I've enjoyed your tours around Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge and now I'm enjoying this one Loretta Lynn's hometown. It makes me sick that my husband and I have been almost anywhere and everywhere but we never got there. But all my gosh do not miss Hurricane Mills keep your windows open when you drive through the first area of their driveway oh my God the Mountain Air was something I've never smelled anywhere except upstate New York. Oh thank you thank you for sharing all of this. God bless you both stay safe on your drives everywhere.
Few years back, me and my family had the opportunity to visit butcher holler. Hermenetta, Herman's daughter was our tour guide at the homestead and she did a wonderful job. We even got to meet Herman, which is Loretta's brother, but now has passed. Every little detail at the home was extremely sentimental and we so much enjoyed the visit. BTW, WHILE THERE, ME AND MY FAMILY NOTICED A COUPLE PICTURES INSIDE OF THE HOME OF OUR UNCLE LARRY SPARKS, THE BLUEGRASS SINGER. HE IS OUR MOM'S BABY BROTHER. MADE US PROUD TO SEE HIS PIC THERE. ❤️
My Daughter went to Bristol TN to collage we traveled a few of those small roads and the countryside was beautiful and had very nice areas and homes. My wife and I visited the Ranch at Hurricane Mills and traveled a few of those same small roads and just enjoyed a drive through the countryside.
Charming tour. She's obviously very proud of her family and you can see how much joy she gets in relaying the stories of the home. Thank you for posting for us all to enjoy.
I love Loretta, I’m from Kentucky, and she’s still country never got above her raising. Love that about her. Wish I could meet her someday. Love to hear her sing.
I'm a Kentucky girl too. But my country years don't compare to this beautiful lady with her true grit, hardships, heartache & perseverance.True Lady of Country Music! We are all so proud of her. RIP Loretta.
Thank you for this wonderful video. My Mother, daughter and I went to Butcher Holler to visit Loretta's family homeplace in 1988. I was born and raised in Clay County KY and it was quite a long drive to Van Lear. Herman Webb, Loretta's brother and Connie's father, saw us going up the holler and he jumped in his truck and followed us. Herman was kind enough to unlock the cabin door and take us on a little tour. We saw all those wonderful old pieces of furniture and the old family pictures. He talked about his parents, Ted and Clarie, and his brothers and sisters. He told us a few family stories. We enjoyed the visit and we were so grateful to Herman. After our visit was over and we got ready to leave, I saw that we had a flat tire on our car. Thankfully Herman was gracious enough to change our flat tire for us....it was either that or he'd have to keep us all night. LOL I will never forget what a fine man Herman was. RIP Herman Webb.
Wow this brings back so many memories. I've been to Butcher Holler many times but not since the 80's with my parents and grandparents. I'm so glad they opened the house up for tours, you couldn't go inside back then. Also back then the road was all gravel and the store was still run by Herman Webb( Loretta's brother and I guess your tour guides dad?). He was such a nice man and talked to my family like he knew us all our lives. Also up on the hill by the house is the family cemetery where a lot of her family is buried. In the movie Dew takes a bulldozer up the mountain and clears a path. It's amazing how Loretta and Crystal became so famous from such a small place. It reminds me of the Partons and their upbringing. It just goes to show anyone can make it with a dream and determination. Thanks for another amazing video!
My husband lived in Loretta Lynn’s house when he was a kid!!!!! And he used to catch the school bus at the old general store where the owner used to buy him a soda.
I'm from West Virginia and so the scenery is exactly the same as in my neck of the woods. In fact, Loretta's homeplace looks like the house my grandmother lived in when I was a child. Maw Maw, as folks in this area most often call their grandmothers, carried water from a well and had an outhouse too. A miner's life was a hard one back then.
this house reminds me of how I grew up and let me tell you toting water for washing is no joke ya'll. the ironic thing is I was born in the 60's. Time seems to go slow in the mountains. progress comes in inches.
@@shawtatl On a mountain in Adona Arkansas, it's perry county. although i was born in the 60's my parents lived like the depression to me, although now they would be considered "off-grid" .
On wash day we packed buckets of water from our hand dug well about 100 feet to fill up two three bushel wash tubs for the old Maytag winger washing machine, no cloths dryer just good clothes line to hang the washed clothes on. I remember doing this as a child 1960. The sad thing is none of us thought of hanging on to any old things at the time was there was plenty of it around and not worth keeping. I live in Pike county Kentucky and music plays a big role here in your life.
Mary West.... I love you.. I have not really laughed in a LOOONG TIME..All this crazy mess going on in this world today. You made my year!!!!! Let me tell you honey: Progress goes real slow in the City too. Don't you know why we have to sleep with our Eyes WIDE OPEN. So Sad. I 🙏 you have a very blessed life. Thank you. 😃😄😄😀😂😭😅
God bless them all,always.I never went to a concert of Loretta's BUT JUST WATCHING THESE VIDEOS,AND HEARING HER RELATIVES GIVE HEART WARMING HOUSE TOURS,JUST GIVES ME A VERY WARM & WELCOMING FEELI G ALL OVER!❤❤❤
My Dad listened to Grand Old Opry on the family radio from Chicago. I watched Loretta Young on tv singing Coal Miners Daughter. I loved Patsy Cline music. My Dad played Johnny Cash records, his favorite song of Dolly Parton was Coat Of Many Colors. My Dad listened to The Carter Family as a kid so I bought him many of the original albums remastered on vinyl records. Country singers back in the day sang about real life and stories about when they grew up that's country to me. I was into rock & roll but my dad made me a country music fan for life. The lyrics of country songs will be forever in memory including Coal Miners Daughter. 🎶🎙🎸
RIP Loretta, so many people were touched by you, integrity of an everyday girl. Her sister was very blessed also. I did not know that loretta and crystal were siblings. Love their voices and music, smooth, kinda relaxing to hear womens voices that have comforting softness,yet calming effect. Womens voices calm a dude down,unless they are being an idiot.
And I keep forgetting they were siblings. Where you grow up can have an impact on you. Crystal doesn’t even sound southern, but Loretta is unapologetically so!
Me and my friend went there in 2006, and it was such a personal experience. When we went, there was nobody at the house selling tickets for the tour. You had to stop at Webb's General Store, and the Clerk there would call up Loretta's brother who lived across from the old home place. He'd meet you at the house and show you around, explaining every item, in detail, just as his daughter did in this video. I imagine he's too elderly to handle the tours anymore (or perhaps he's passed on, as he was up in age when I met him). Unlike most tours like this, you aren't rushed. You can take your time and ask questions and feel a special connection with Loretta through her relatives. It's a great experience I highly recommend!
Loretta & Crystal both are Beautiful women.Times were hard but God Blessed them & they Blessed All Of Us with Music. Thank You Jesus,for loving this family & guiding them to better,more successful life.
I remember when radilos were that big! I loved the glow from the dial and, as a child, sat infront of it listening to school closures from snow!! Progress isn't always good, a simpler time is what memories are made of!
Love loretta lynn song cole minners daughter👍she still has a beautiful voice at 87yrs old and it's good to see she still has that beautiful mountain voice 👍👍
I live in Ky and have been there...met her brother that use to do the tour and now another family member does them. The store, the home and all around takes you back in time! We seen her in person in Renfro Valley and she signed an autograph to my dad (he passed away 2012) but I hold that near and dear to my heart! I’m so pleased to be a part of there and with her family! It is awesome!! Thank you for sharing your experience!!!
Once Upon a Time a girl from a working family could have a dream, and that dream could come true. That dream and the ability to dream it is my America, I was willing to die for it as a young man and as an old man I would do it without the fear. The next time you are hurting please remember you are part of a big brother and sisterhood, and it may hurt but you never hurt alone and sometimes that hurt becomes a fuel for your dreams. Loretta proved that and she may have died but what she did, that lives forever every time somebody gets back up and faces the hell of this world, every time!!!
Great video! Glad to see you two back in Kentucky! I’ve been to Loretta’s house before. Her older brother Herman ran that store until he passed away. He was a very nice man.
Never been there but I just love Loretta lynn seen her here in Indiana At her last visit loved her show and family and all of them on stage . Best ever . I'll miss her but shes in great hands with the lord. And I'll still always enjoy her music and ect...
Country music has lost our Queen may she Rest In Peace reunited in heaven with some of her children her mommy and daddy and her Doo Little so glad i got to see her perform a few times Rest in peach you will always be my favorite.
You guys crack me up! You’re good people enjoying life the way we all should! Love Loretta Lynn her and Patsy Cline two Legends started it all for a lot of other famous women artists!
I love the sweet lady relative giving the tour, she gives the experience a first hand feeling like welcoming you home. So unique in tours where the groups are huge and the guide is unfamiliar with the subjects. Awesome
I live about 10 miles from there. I been there more times than I can count. But it's just not the same since Herman left us. If yoh can you need to go to her house in Tennessee.
I was born about 2 hours away from Kentucky the town is called Grundy VA it's a old coal mining town too. My Mother and Loretta meet and sang christian music together at WNRG in Grundy I was 8 years old it's been that long guys!! Loretta had beautiful long black hair back n the days my grandfather had an old general store in Grundy the building is actually still standing. It was called Hurleys Grocery!! You guys have a safe trip back to Tennessee that's were I live now.... I've lived here in Tennessee since 1985 and love it God Bless!
I have a autographed photo of the Lynn sisters,I met them in Pensacola,Fla.They are really down to earth people,like Miss Loretta Lynn was.May Miss Loretta Lynn RIP!! God Bless her and her family.
Thank you for posting this tour. I love Loretta Lynn I always thought she was so pretty and her personality shined definitely my favorite country singer. I'm a country girl but don't listen to a lot of country music always been a rocker but Loretta was special I grow up Watching and listening to her. Coal Minors Daughter was a great movie reminded me of my family who are from mostly Kentucky and Tennessee by grandfather was a coal miner at one time then he moved from Kentucky to Florida and worked for the Country and that's where he retired from. Loretta died not long ago about 2 weeks ago I cried cause she was truly one of a kind she will be missed by all that loved and knew her and all those who seen her story and listen to her sign she was as lovely as a song bird. One thing I always remember is lorretta statement about eating bologna she really thought it made a person horney as she said. I laughed so hard at the story.... RIP Loretta Lynn thank you for sharing your life and your voice with the world. You will be very much missed
This was an Amazing look into the humble beginnings of Loretta's life! Wow! They picked the perfect relative to be the tour guide! 😂 She seemed so friendly and very knowledgeable on every detail! That old general store was great too! This is one of my favorite videos Will and Dawn excellant!! Thanks so much for bringing this to us all! 😊👍
One of my earliest memories was getting a tour of this house when I was a little girl. In the 80s. I think my grandpa ran into a relative at the store nearby & they offered a tour. I just remember all the pictures on the wall. Just like in this video. Awesome. Hasn't changed from what I remember. Good memories with my sweet grandpa :(
Looking at the childhood home of Loretta Lynn, puts a smile on my face. The washtub hanging out beside the door reminds me of my grandparents house, after the was was finished one of us would be called to come and hang the tub up. So little but, good memories.
Talk about taking a step back in time..!..it is nice that they kept all the stuff from that era..really enjoyed this vlog..thank you for vlogging this..☺☺😊
I wish I could give this video a 100 thumbs up!!! I love Loretta Lynn so much. No matter how many times I've seen The Coal Miner's Daughter, when it comes on TV I watch it again. I love all of y'alls videos, but this was my favorite by far!!!
Wow! I saw so many things in this video I haven’t seen since I was a kid. My momma is 78, I’m 48 and momma’s momma had a bunch of items like the radio, washing machine, fan (momma still has the fan and the irons she used to iron her school uniform with). It’s so neat to see the history of a family. My momma was born in Oscar Louisiana... on the kitchen table of the doctor they crop shared for. I was born in New Orleans Louisiana and spent summers in “the country” (Pierre Pierre, Donaldsonville.... etc) and watched the great uncles hunt, fish etc... Thanks for sharing!!!
Wow. So cool. My husband will be 50 and was born in New orleans. I was born and raised in wisconsin but I know the feeling of seeing things that my grandparents kept when my mom and her siblings were growing up. Even the outhouse, I used to use it when I was small. I am 38 now and I am glad I got to see this video. I was brought up listening to lorretta and crystal and others. It is always nice to see that artists really did understand the struggles that came along with working to achieve the dreams they wanted to reach.
My Dad born in Shreveport, Mama born in Memphis, they met in Los Angeles, had me, and named me Crystal Gayle. My Grandma life is like Loretta's to the tee . Can't watch the movie no more, it's too painful, it reminds me of my beloved Granny, booby, I'll love you forever. 1937-2014.
Love seeing the home place of Loretta s . I can imagine all the love there and warmth there. it gives me chills and teary eyes.. Crystal Gale her younger sister raised most of her years her life in Wabash Indaia.......
Love the historical, humble beginnings of this music icon. Wonderful tour of the family homestead. Very easy to relate to. My father grew up in similar manner in southern OH. No electricity or indoor plumbing. The well and outhouse nearby. Oil lamps for light, wood stove for heat and cooking, food cellar under the house. My grandfather was a mule skinner in the coal mines near Cambridge, OH. Rural life back then was all about hard work, survival, and church on Sunday.
My grandfather and father lived in a small mining town in Tennessee. One room shack where they owed their soul to the company store just like everyone else. I’m so grateful my dad chose to get out and I grew up in Florida and now in Atlanta. People don’t understand what these people truly lived through and dealt with. It was extreme poverty. It’s not quaint or cute. It was starvation, abuse and death.
conditions were terrible in the early yrs . lots of miners died young of black lung disease . lots of mining companies abused their employees . wages were poor in those yrs. not like now mines pay good wages for the most part now days
My dad lost his dad and siblings all to black lung. It was bad, this was back in the 30’s-40’s. It was really bad but I have seen some reports of the changes in safety and wages thank god.
They even preserved the general store! These people do treasures old days. I really enjoyed seeing Loretta Lynn humble beginnings. I really love that song sung by Croce, "photographs and memories" Thanks for the video. 👍👍👍
Loretta Lynn Beautiful songwriter she wrote most song's about her beautiful Life Loved old Home place truly amazing after all this time of Loretta Lynn's life time Beautiful Loretta Lynn she we're trulyAmazing!! Thanks Guy's lovely video. TRULY AMAZING BEAUTIFUL LORETTA LYNN!
thats not how Loretta told the story of Crystal getting her name, when she was born Loretta said she wanted to name her, although her given name is Brenda, Loretta always looked after her and she had her and said your eyes sparkle like Crystals now I am going to call you Crystal because mama said I can name you but she always went by Brenda but not when Loretta was around and yes the record company said we already have a Brenda ( Lee ) and yes Loretta said then you are my baby sister Crystal...that`s how Loretta told it, now I am confused...
I grew up like Loretta's home life. Only it was the 60's thru 70's until we got running water too the farm house we owned in later 70's I think around 74'! Now I'm going to be turning 60..WOW, Awesome too see.
This video was awesome. My Daddy and Mama had 4 country grocery stores over the years. I really do miss them and the old timey way to shop. I worked in them from the time I was 9. I remember when a long loaf of bread was. 25 cents and a bottle of pop was 05 cents and 10lbs of potatoes was 25 cents. I could get An 8lb sirloin tip roast for $5. That was after I married. Those were the days, my friends, those were the days. I'm 70 now and it all seems like a dream. If only we could go back. Thanks for the nostalgic video I absolutely loved it GOD BLESS AND KEEP THEM COMING!
we grew up with a small neighboorhood store( not as big) and I will NEVER forget the excitement of taking 25 cents to the store, and walking out the door with a little brown paper sack full of bubblegum and candy! And I was born in 70’s! So different now, no longer many old grocery store where they still slice a pound of luncheonmeat, or pickleloaf wrap it in the white paper, for you, or slice pound of “ round cheese!” Only two left in a 30 mile radius! Still love seeing videos like this! Reminds me of growing up!
My great grandma is Loretta Lynn's cousin, on the Webb side. My mom was born in Paintsville at the same little hospital that Crystal Gale was. I miss visiting Kentucky as a kid, it was so much fun for a city kid like me to let loose and run😊
I am a HUGE Loretta Lynn fan and I just appreciate the detail. You allow the tour guide to speak and your volume was clear. I also appreciated that you showed the Holler signage and such.
@@ladyyankeerebel3067 yes she was a mom at 14 but at 14 I was a sophomore in high school just saying is all dont assume elementary if a child doesn't fa8l grade at 14 should be a sophomore in high school I was 17 when I graduated high school was barely 13 my freshman year
I love country music grew up on so hearing and seeing the history of Loretta Lynn and how she came to be was absolutely wonderful. I know I will never make it there so thamk you for sharing that little piece of history. Beautiful
My step dad took me to coal miners daughter 5 nights in a row. Last time i went to see her.. She had fallen and was recovering in Tennessee. Her ranch is worth the visit. This lady is amazing.
My grandmother loved Loretta Lynn so much that she named my mom after her. It’s nice to see where Loretta Lynn grew up other then the movie Coal Miners Daughter. Thanks for sharing this.
Reminds me of my Great grandmas house in Beckley, West Virginia. No electricity, no running water, and an outhouse lol. Great grandpa was a coal miner and died of black lung before I was born. When we went to visit had to go to the "crick" to get water for baths and cooking. Its the quietest most beautiful place ive ever been. Up on a small hill is where the house is and me being from the city ive never seen the sky more beautiful. No light bleed so you can see everything. Our family was poor as hell but it always seemed like we had just enough. Ill never forget the John Henry statue we passed every time on the drive up either. The memories =)
Love this one especially my mother was a daughter of a coal miner (my grandfather) in Kentucky too. That's why I always loved Loretta Lynn and of course her music! I have to go see this place thank you for sharing!
Crazy Granny my dad is the son of a coal miner. My grandpa owned his own little mine, was a magistrate of the county and was a preacher. East southern Kentucky. Oh the times back then. I am 47. He past away when I was around seven or so. Heart problems. I believe it was heartattack that got him. He helped build the hollow where he and grandma lived and then later where I and my family lived. Some of my kin still live up that hollow. Me and my own family have since moved out of Kentucky.
AMY’S TRAVELS & VLOGS my fathers dad (my grandfather)died in the coal mines in KY my dad was 7 years old the mine collapsed on him never got to meet my grandfather but of course I met my mother's dad but later on after my grandfather retired he passes away from black lung😞 A lot of my kin still live in KY. Mom dad never wanted to work in the mines he moved to Cleveland Ohio when he was 17 got a job working for GM.
Ilove read all about this I went to visit her home place and in joy it I am going to visit her places that she has now I would like to see her Ism 87 years old
All the old houses have s veranda.So nice to sit with family out there. But could these houses withstand the cold weather. What kind of heat did they have?.Maybe they made a fire but are the windows airtight???.
The American dream is still real. But the dream doesn't belong to Americans anymore. The dream belongs to anyone who hates it, and wants to make it into their personal Never-Never Land. They don't want to fight, defend, and change their own country, for the better... just ours.
I have always been a fan of Loritta Lynn. Few years back going through TN to get to our daughters wedding we stopped stopped at a small town. Had know idea where we were, it was very late and very tired. Only hotel in town had one room left. Noticed the cafe next door and it said Loretta cafe. To my surprise we were in Hurrican, TN and down the road was Loretta Lynn's mansion. Unfortunately we were not able to tour but what an exciting find..so close and yet so far away in hoping to see her. Just thought I would share.
You guys seem so happy together. Makes me happy watching your videos. Especially ones of Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg. One of my most favorite places to get away to and commune with the beautiful mountains. My ex-husband honeymooned down there. Makes me yearn for those days again. Thank you for your channel.
Great to see, the price is very good. I would of liked Not to see so many pictures on the bed and everywhere...for it to be more authentic. But very glad this home was saved through the years. 💌. Thanks for the spot light on Loretta's Childhood Home.
Impressed with the nice; she did a great and thorough job as guide - presenting all those precious old antique items in Lorettas childhood home. She didn't skip a beat, mince her words, waste a moment in bringing us the goods. 'Niecy' certainly gave us the bang for the bucks. And I thoroughly enjoyed the entire video. Thanks. God bless.
Coal Miners Daughter is still one of my favorite movies. I was raised in coal country so I could relate in many ways to how life was in these small towns. The fair grounds in the movie was where I was raised. That was a traveling fair by James H. Drew Expeditions which would travel from town to town to set up the fair for a week. We use to look forward to the yearly fair to come. The guy in the movie who won the auction for the pie Loretta made was my school bus driver when I was in school. His sister taught me and my brother piano lessons at her home. I just adore the movie of Lorettas life and have watched it many times through the years.
Your channel popped up and I decided to watch it, it has great content Ii truly enjoy the Loretta Lynn story, and the general store. Thank you so much for sharing & yes I subscribed 🥰
I wood love to see her I play her story all the time but if I dont see her while I'm a live I will see her in heaven she is 90 years old now but I love her so much I got all her songs and a doll of her I got for christmas I love it that is a old house my dad work in the Cole mind I help him but he got sick from it we didnt have much but we got by god bless each and every one thair love you lynn your fan betty ozark
Hi. I just found your channel. Yes, I've always been a huge fan of Loretta Lynn. I was so saddened to hear of her passing. I do remember the movie, Coal Miner's Daughter. Seeing the original house so beautifully cared for. Her Niece is so adorable and informative.
I went to see Loretta Lynn's place with friend's if I could I would love to go back again it's a memory to never forget I loved that place. I have loved her music ever since I was a kid.
Great video. Husband and I enjoyed it . We moved to Van Lear, Ky about a year ago and absolutely love it here. The people are genuine and will go out of their way to make you feel at home.
Loretta makes me proud to be a ky girl. I love her and her music. She's my favorite female country music singer by far. There will be another to come close to her. She has a big heart and a strong spine. Pure unbridled spirit.
My family is from Vanleer and auxier Kentucky but most live in Paintsville and Prestonsburg Kentucky now but we go back for family reunions and such and its like going back in time or to another world. I love it there. I still live in Kentucky just a different part which is Greenup. I love Kentucky a lot of it is so rural, peaceful, and beautiful.
My mom is 90 yrs old, and Loretta's life is very similar to hers. My grandpa was a coal miner in KY, there were 12 kids in the family, and eventually our family moved to Indiana. My uncle did not want to work in coal mines! I remember when mom saw the movie the first time, it brought tears to her eyes.
Tha k you for sharing Shannon
My family is from Hindman they lived there for years until my grandfather heard about ROCKWELL company in Ohio. That plant is no longer there.
I'm back in Ky living the dream😄
We have same story my great grandfather was Kentucky coal miner . They moved to Winchester Indiana when my grandma was six.
Thank you for sharing your moments with us. Aloha from Honolulu, Hawaii
Remember your hard working Grandpa we still need coal for backup energy. Vote Republican. Democrats want to shut down just about anything.
I live about an hour from there, she's our distant cousin. We grew up like that my daddy was a miner too. I sang at that old store.
Iiii
That’s awesome
Is everything still there now and open? 2021? Would love to visit this one day
Wow 👏 thank you for sharing that you were a distant cousin of Loretta's.
You two are absolutely awesome I've enjoyed your tours around Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge and now I'm enjoying this one Loretta Lynn's hometown. It makes me sick that my husband and I have been almost anywhere and everywhere but we never got there. But all my gosh do not miss Hurricane Mills keep your windows open when you drive through the first area of their driveway oh my God the Mountain Air was something I've never smelled anywhere except upstate New York. Oh thank you thank you for sharing all of this. God bless you both stay safe on your drives everywhere.
Glad the mother got to see Loretta get famous. Amazing
Such a blessing
Few years back, me and my family had the opportunity to visit butcher holler. Hermenetta, Herman's daughter was our tour guide at the homestead and she did a wonderful job. We even got to meet Herman, which is Loretta's brother, but now has passed. Every little detail at the home was extremely sentimental and we so much enjoyed the visit. BTW, WHILE THERE, ME AND MY FAMILY NOTICED A COUPLE PICTURES INSIDE OF THE HOME OF OUR UNCLE LARRY SPARKS, THE BLUEGRASS SINGER. HE IS OUR MOM'S BABY BROTHER. MADE US PROUD TO SEE HIS PIC THERE. ❤️
Love this video.
Backroads and rural areas are the veins that feed to the heart of this country. If you’ve never explored these areas you really need should.
Definitely thanks jmtilson
My Daughter went to Bristol TN to collage we traveled a few of those small roads and the countryside was beautiful and had very nice areas and homes. My wife and I visited the Ranch at Hurricane Mills and traveled a few of those same small roads and just enjoyed a drive through the countryside.
Charming tour. She's obviously very proud of her family and you can see how much joy she gets in relaying the stories of the home.
Thank you for posting for us all to enjoy.
Back then hard life but a simple life you learn to relay on each other. Wish we still had that today.
It was not. It's not this revised romantic notion thats safe to assume about a past that never was. Stop the mythmaking.
Teresa Price me too!
Ikr!!!
Appreciated.everything too
Me too, times were harder but families were so close.
I love Loretta, I’m from Kentucky, and she’s still country never got above her raising. Love that about her. Wish I could meet her someday. Love to hear her sing.
I'm a Kentucky girl too. But my country years don't compare to this beautiful lady with her true grit, hardships, heartache & perseverance.True Lady of Country Music! We are all so proud of her. RIP Loretta.
I love Loretty too,
When u lookin at Me,
You're lookin at Country !
Yeah!!! 😘
Thank you for this wonderful video. My Mother, daughter and I went to Butcher Holler to visit Loretta's family homeplace in 1988. I was born and raised in Clay County KY and it was quite a long drive to Van Lear. Herman Webb, Loretta's brother and Connie's father, saw us going up the holler and he jumped in his truck and followed us. Herman was kind enough to unlock the cabin door and take us on a little tour. We saw all those wonderful old pieces of furniture and the old family pictures. He talked about his parents, Ted and Clarie, and his brothers and sisters. He told us a few family stories. We enjoyed the visit and we were so grateful to Herman. After our visit was over and we got ready to leave, I saw that we had a flat tire on our car. Thankfully Herman was gracious enough to change our flat tire for us....it was either that or he'd have to keep us all night. LOL I will never forget what a fine man Herman was. RIP Herman Webb.
Thank you for sharing with us Terri
What a great story thank you for sharing.
How nice! In the movie Herman was the redhead that teased Loretta when she and Doo were courting.
That's what people do for their friends and neighbors with out a
Thought about recieving any recompense
What a nice man👍
Wow this brings back so many memories. I've been to Butcher Holler many times but not since the 80's with my parents and grandparents. I'm so glad they opened the house up for tours, you couldn't go inside back then. Also back then the road was all gravel and the store was still run by Herman Webb( Loretta's brother and I guess your tour guides dad?). He was such a nice man and talked to my family like he knew us all our lives. Also up on the hill by the house is the family cemetery where a lot of her family is buried. In the movie Dew takes a bulldozer up the mountain and clears a path. It's amazing how Loretta and Crystal became so famous from such a small place. It reminds me of the Partons and their upbringing. It just goes to show anyone can make it with a dream and determination. Thanks for another amazing video!
My husband lived in Loretta Lynn’s house when he was a kid!!!!! And he used to catch the school bus at the old general store where the owner used to buy him a soda.
Thanks for sharing
For real, I would love background 😍
PRECIOUS MEMORIES...HOW THEY LINGER...🥰🥰😇😇
I'm from West Virginia and so the scenery is exactly the same as in my neck of the woods. In fact, Loretta's homeplace looks like the house my grandmother lived in when I was a child. Maw Maw, as folks in this area most often call their grandmothers, carried water from a well and had an outhouse too. A miner's life was a hard one back then.
It was.
I love Loretta. I do not believe she gave in to the industry to do it their way. A true Lady. Rest in peace.
I am from Wva also and yes you are right everything pretty much the same
I am named after Loretta Lynn and I to am a Coal Miners Daughter and proud of it....
Stitched With Love By Loretta Are you worth $65M??
Slash G&R No, she’s priceless.
Well give you a cookie
I'm also a coal miners daughter. My dad's retired now but he raised six kids working in the Utah coal mines.
@@bbednorz319 😂😂😂😂
this house reminds me of how I grew up and let me tell you toting water for washing is no joke ya'll. the ironic thing is I was born in the 60's. Time seems to go slow in the mountains. progress comes in inches.
Wowwwww. Where did you grow up, if you don't mind me asking?
@@shawtatl On a mountain in Adona Arkansas, it's perry county. although i was born in the 60's my parents lived like the depression to me, although now they would be considered "off-grid" .
@@marywest2896 that's awesome, I bet you're STRONGER than most. Now I have to go Google as much as I can about Adona Arkansas 🤣🤣🤣
On wash day we packed buckets of water from our hand dug well about 100 feet to fill up two three bushel wash tubs for the old Maytag winger washing machine, no cloths dryer just good clothes line to hang the washed clothes on. I remember doing this as a child 1960. The sad thing is none of us thought of hanging on to any old things at the time was there was plenty of it around and not worth keeping. I live in Pike county Kentucky and music plays a big role here in your life.
Mary West.... I love you.. I have not really laughed in a LOOONG TIME..All this crazy mess going on in this world today. You made my year!!!!! Let me tell you honey: Progress goes real slow in the City too. Don't you know why we have to sleep with our Eyes WIDE OPEN. So Sad. I 🙏 you have a very blessed life. Thank you. 😃😄😄😀😂😭😅
That was something really special. The personal care given to you on your tour by Loretta’s niece was amazing! For $5!!
Everyone gets the tour it was very beautiful and special. I loved it
My sister and I took our mom there a few years ago for her birthday 🎂 🎉 we loved it. Went to Webbs grocery as well.
@@lisagaines4278 I'm so glad.. if God ever gives me the chance I would love to see and breath every inch of it all
God bless them all,always.I never went to a concert of Loretta's BUT JUST WATCHING THESE VIDEOS,AND HEARING HER RELATIVES GIVE HEART WARMING HOUSE TOURS,JUST GIVES ME A VERY WARM & WELCOMING
FEELI G ALL OVER!❤❤❤
My Dad listened to Grand Old Opry on the family radio from Chicago. I watched Loretta Young on tv singing Coal Miners Daughter. I loved Patsy Cline music. My Dad played Johnny Cash records, his favorite song of Dolly Parton was Coat Of Many Colors. My Dad listened to The Carter Family as a kid so I bought him many of the original albums remastered on vinyl records. Country singers back in the day sang about real life and stories about when they grew up that's country to me. I was into rock & roll but my dad made me a country music fan for life. The lyrics of country songs will be forever in memory including Coal Miners Daughter. 🎶🎙🎸
Thank you so much for sharing your memories with us Grant
RIP Loretta, so many people were touched by you, integrity of an everyday girl. Her sister was very blessed also. I did not know that loretta and crystal were siblings. Love their voices and music, smooth, kinda relaxing to hear womens voices that have comforting softness,yet calming effect. Womens voices calm a dude down,unless they are being an idiot.
I love Loretta Lynn and I love the small towns and country folk. They are so friendly and no stranger to hard work. Just don't get any better
Very interesting. I love Loretta and Crystal. How they came from humble beginnings to become the top country singers.
Thanks Edith
Still jealous 🤣 But so proud of them!°
And I keep forgetting they were siblings. Where you grow up can have an impact on you. Crystal doesn’t even sound southern, but Loretta is unapologetically so!
Crystal didn't grow up like Loretta did, they moved when she was younger.
Growing up, I've seen this movie hundred times....and will watch it every time it comes on TV......"stop a growling like a Bear"!!!!
Me and my friend went there in 2006, and it was such a personal experience. When we went, there was nobody at the house selling tickets for the tour. You had to stop at Webb's General Store, and the Clerk there would call up Loretta's brother who lived across from the old home place. He'd meet you at the house and show you around, explaining every item, in detail, just as his daughter did in this video. I imagine he's too elderly to handle the tours anymore (or perhaps he's passed on, as he was up in age when I met him). Unlike most tours like this, you aren't rushed. You can take your time and ask questions and feel a special connection with Loretta through her relatives. It's a great experience I highly recommend!
Hello Dear
How are you doing today?
Loretta & Crystal both are Beautiful women.Times were hard but God Blessed them & they Blessed All Of Us with Music.
Thank You Jesus,for loving this family & guiding them to better,more successful life.
I remember when radilos were that big! I loved the glow from the dial and, as a child, sat infront of it listening to school closures from snow!! Progress isn't always good, a simpler time is what memories are made of!
I love old stores and restaurants that have the old pictures in them. Especially when they are about the town.
Love loretta lynn song cole minners daughter👍she still has a beautiful voice at 87yrs old and it's good to see she still has that beautiful mountain voice 👍👍
Try, “coal miner’s daughter”
I live in Ky and have been there...met her brother that use to do the tour and now another family member does them. The store, the home and all around takes you back in time! We seen her in person in Renfro Valley and she signed an autograph to my dad (he passed away 2012) but I hold that near and dear to my heart! I’m so pleased to be a part of there and with her family! It is awesome!! Thank you for sharing your experience!!!
I have seen Loretta and Conway in concert many times.wow nothing like seeing those two in person. They use to come to my hometown quite a bit.
Same!
Coal Miners Daughter one of my favorite movies!
Mine too, I've watched so many times, lol
I love that movie as well
@myfamilynme i member that LINE
@myfamilynme yes Miss she surely did
@myfamilynme 😂 love it,
Once Upon a Time a girl from a working family could have a dream, and that dream could come true. That dream and the ability to dream it is my America, I was willing to die for it as a young man and as an old man I would do it without the fear. The next time you are hurting please remember you are part of a big brother and sisterhood, and it may hurt but you never hurt alone and sometimes that hurt becomes a fuel for your dreams. Loretta proved that and she may have died but what she did, that lives forever every time somebody gets back up and faces the hell of this world, every time!!!
Great video! Glad to see you two back in Kentucky! I’ve been to Loretta’s house before. Her older brother Herman ran that store until he passed away. He was a very nice man.
Never been there but I just love Loretta lynn seen her here in Indiana
At her last visit loved her show and family and all of them on stage . Best ever .
I'll miss her but shes in great hands with the lord.
And I'll still always enjoy her music and ect...
I watched this 2 weeks after Loretta passed away. Rest in peace queen!
Country music has lost our Queen may she Rest In Peace reunited in heaven with some of her children her mommy and daddy and her Doo Little so glad i got to see her perform a few times Rest in peach you will always be my favorite.
You guys crack me up! You’re good people enjoying life the way we all should! Love Loretta Lynn her and Patsy Cline two Legends started it all for a lot of other famous women artists!
Thank you Cindy
I was low lately and she was my favorite singer I never had the money to go and visit her but I loved her and her music oh Loretta Lynn
I love the sweet lady relative giving the tour, she gives the experience a first hand feeling like welcoming you home. So unique in tours where the groups are huge and the guide is unfamiliar with the subjects. Awesome
I live about 10 miles from there. I been there more times than I can count. But it's just not the same since Herman left us. If yoh can you need to go to her house in Tennessee.
I was born about 2 hours away from Kentucky the town is called Grundy VA it's a old coal mining town too. My Mother and Loretta meet and sang christian music together at WNRG in Grundy I was 8 years old it's been that long guys!! Loretta had beautiful long black hair back n the days my grandfather had an old general store in Grundy the building is actually still standing. It was called Hurleys Grocery!! You guys have a safe trip back to Tennessee that's were I live now.... I've lived here in Tennessee since 1985 and love it God Bless!
Gidget:: Wow it's a small world my Mom lives in Castlewood Va! I'm from grundy but I lived in Johnson City TN tysm for the reply 😊✌
I live near there I live in honaker
R.I.P. LORETTA LYNN thank you for some of the best music
I have a autographed photo of the Lynn sisters,I met them in Pensacola,Fla.They are really down to earth people,like Miss Loretta Lynn was.May Miss Loretta Lynn RIP!! God Bless her and her family.
Thank you for posting this tour. I love Loretta Lynn I always thought she was so pretty and her personality shined definitely my favorite country singer. I'm a country girl but don't listen to a lot of country music always been a rocker but Loretta was special I grow up Watching and listening to her. Coal Minors Daughter was a great movie reminded me of my family who are from mostly Kentucky and Tennessee by grandfather was a coal miner at one time then he moved from Kentucky to Florida and worked for the Country and that's where he retired from.
Loretta died not long ago about 2 weeks ago I cried cause she was truly one of a kind she will be missed by all that loved and knew her and all those who seen her story and listen to her sign she was as lovely as a song bird. One thing I always remember is lorretta statement about eating bologna she really thought it made a person horney as she said. I laughed so hard at the story....
RIP Loretta Lynn thank you for sharing your life and your voice with the world.
You will be very much missed
This was an Amazing look into the humble beginnings of Loretta's life! Wow! They picked the perfect relative to be the tour guide! 😂 She seemed so friendly and very knowledgeable on every detail! That old general store was great too! This is one of my favorite videos Will and Dawn excellant!! Thanks so much for bringing this to us all! 😊👍
I'm a fan of lorretta Lynn I sang her songs when I was 6 years old I knew all her songs and I'm 61 today and I remember all her songs still
WOW!THAT IS BEAUTIFUL!!!
MAY GOD BLESS YOU MORE!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
One of my earliest memories was getting a tour of this house when I was a little girl. In the 80s. I think my grandpa ran into a relative at the store nearby & they offered a tour. I just remember all the pictures on the wall. Just like in this video. Awesome. Hasn't changed from what I remember. Good memories with my sweet grandpa :(
Looking at the childhood home of Loretta Lynn, puts a smile on my face. The washtub hanging out beside the door reminds me of my grandparents house, after the was was finished one of us would be called to come and hang the tub up. So little but, good memories.
Talk about taking a step back in time..!..it is nice that they kept all the stuff from that era..really enjoyed this vlog..thank you for vlogging this..☺☺😊
I'm a Canadian great granddaughter of a coal miner. I too am proud.
Awesome 👌
I wish I could give this video a 100 thumbs up!!! I love Loretta Lynn so much. No matter how many times I've seen The Coal Miner's Daughter, when it comes on TV I watch it again. I love all of y'alls videos, but this was my favorite by far!!!
Thanks A Bennett
I do too..iv probably watched coal minors daughter more then any other movie ever made.
My mom is named Vickie Loretta...after Loretta Lynn. My little Jesus loving grandma didn't listen to any "blues" except for Sam Cooke & Loretta Lynn!
Wow!
I saw so many things in this video I haven’t seen since I was a kid. My momma is 78, I’m 48 and momma’s momma had a bunch of items like the radio, washing machine, fan (momma still has the fan and the irons she used to iron her school uniform with).
It’s so neat to see the history of a family.
My momma was born in Oscar Louisiana... on the kitchen table of the doctor they crop shared for.
I was born in New Orleans Louisiana and spent summers in “the country” (Pierre Pierre, Donaldsonville.... etc) and watched the great uncles hunt, fish etc...
Thanks for sharing!!!
COOL!!! GOING FISHING HAD TO BE FUN WITH YOUR UNCLES. PRETTY TOO.
Wow. So cool. My husband will be 50 and was born in New orleans. I was born and raised in wisconsin but I know the feeling of seeing things that my grandparents kept when my mom and her siblings were growing up. Even the outhouse, I used to use it when I was small. I am 38 now and I am glad I got to see this video. I was brought up listening to lorretta and crystal and others. It is always nice to see that artists really did understand the struggles that came along with working to achieve the dreams they wanted to reach.

My Dad born in Shreveport, Mama born in Memphis, they met in Los Angeles, had me, and named me Crystal Gayle. My Grandma life is like Loretta's to the tee . Can't watch the movie no more, it's too painful, it reminds me of my beloved Granny, booby, I'll love you forever. 1937-2014.
People really took care of their items then. Would pass items down from generation to generation.
Love seeing the home place of Loretta s . I can imagine all the love there and warmth there. it gives me chills and teary eyes.. Crystal Gale her younger sister raised most of her years her life in Wabash Indaia.......
I liked the lady giving you the tour. I haven't been there. It's on my list👍
Love the historical, humble beginnings of this music icon. Wonderful tour of the family homestead.
Very easy to relate to. My father grew up in similar manner in southern OH. No electricity or indoor plumbing. The well and outhouse nearby. Oil lamps for light, wood stove for heat and cooking, food cellar under the house.
My grandfather was a mule skinner in the coal mines near Cambridge, OH. Rural life back then was all about hard work, survival, and church on Sunday.
❤
Hard scrabble life for sure. The store has been fantastically preserved. Interesting history. Thanks
It's a national historic site now.
Love Loretta Lynn she is precious
Good o ole country gal she was poor growing up but look we’re she come one of the most loved and respected women in country music today
My grandfather and father lived in a small mining town in Tennessee. One room shack where they owed their soul to the company store just like everyone else. I’m so grateful my dad chose to get out and I grew up in Florida and now in Atlanta. People don’t understand what these people truly lived through and dealt with. It was extreme poverty. It’s not quaint or cute. It was starvation, abuse and death.
conditions were terrible in the early yrs . lots of miners died young of black lung disease . lots of mining companies abused their employees . wages were poor in those yrs. not like now mines pay good wages for the most part now days
My dad lost his dad and siblings all to black lung. It was bad, this was back in the 30’s-40’s. It was really bad but I have seen some reports of the changes in safety and wages thank god.
I replied with the wrong acct but I am the OP you replied too
Love seeing this. Really makes you appreciate the simple times. Interesting information! ~Dawn
Ya...... And it sure is a good time to remember simpler times, amen
They even preserved the general store! These people do treasures old days. I really enjoyed seeing Loretta Lynn humble beginnings. I really love that song sung by Croce, "photographs and memories" Thanks for the video. 👍👍👍
Thanks Shai
Just watching this video, I can feel just how simple & amazing their life would have been, without modern conveniences. Thank you.
Loretta Lynn Beautiful songwriter she wrote most song's about her beautiful Life
Loved old Home place truly amazing after all this time of Loretta Lynn's life time
Beautiful Loretta Lynn she we're trulyAmazing!!
Thanks Guy's lovely video. TRULY AMAZING BEAUTIFUL LORETTA LYNN!
You're truly welcome Guy's!
amazing. i love to visit old homesteads to castles. history is so enlightening.
I really enjoyed the road scenery on the way to her house! Brilliant!
Thank you very much for taking us there. Very interesting! I love Loretta Lynn. She was the real deal, a very tough, talented woman.
thats not how Loretta told the story of Crystal getting her name, when she was born Loretta said she wanted to name her, although her given name is Brenda, Loretta always looked after her and she had her and said your eyes sparkle like Crystals now I am going to call you Crystal because mama said I can name you but she always went by Brenda but not when Loretta was around and yes the record company said we already have a Brenda ( Lee ) and yes Loretta said then you are my baby sister Crystal...that`s how Loretta told it, now I am confused...
I grew up like Loretta's home life. Only it was the 60's thru 70's until we got running water too the farm house we owned in later 70's I think around 74'! Now I'm going to be turning 60..WOW, Awesome too see.
Thank you for sharing Denise
This video was awesome. My Daddy and Mama had 4 country grocery stores over the years. I really do miss them and the old timey way to shop. I worked in them from the time I was 9. I remember when a long loaf of bread was. 25 cents and a bottle of pop was 05 cents and 10lbs of potatoes was 25 cents. I could get An 8lb sirloin tip roast for $5. That was after I married. Those were the days, my friends, those were the days. I'm 70 now and it all seems like a dream. If only we could go back. Thanks for the nostalgic video I absolutely loved it GOD BLESS AND KEEP THEM COMING!
Thank you for sharing Karen
we grew up with a small neighboorhood store( not as big) and I will NEVER forget the excitement of taking 25 cents to the store, and walking out the door with a little brown paper sack full of bubblegum and candy! And I was born in 70’s! So different now, no longer many old grocery store where they still slice a pound of luncheonmeat, or pickleloaf wrap it in the white paper, for you, or slice pound of “ round cheese!” Only two left in a 30 mile radius! Still love seeing videos like this! Reminds me of growing up!
Thank you for sharing Vaniecia
Penny candy in a small brown paper sack! All the glass bins with the different candies in, so hard to decide which to get with your quawter
I love this also!💛 I just love experiencing how people lived and actually long for that type of simpleness.
My great grandma is Loretta Lynn's cousin, on the Webb side. My mom was born in Paintsville at the same little hospital that Crystal Gale was. I miss visiting Kentucky as a kid, it was so much fun for a city kid like me to let loose and run😊
Thank you for sharing Jessica
Jessica Mabry,
I know you're being truthful,my Great Grandfather (Willie Webb) and Loretta's Father (Melvin Webb) were first cousins.
Hello Cousin!! 🤗
My family up until the 1980's grew up just like this. My grandad worked the coal mines in WV-VA.
Thanks for sharing your tour with everyone, I love Loretta and her story is incredible. What a cool thing to see with a family member tour guide!
Loretta's brother Herman used to give the tours. He lived just a few hundred feet from the home place.
This a wonderful video best I've seen makes me want to come see rural Kentucky keep this kind of stuff coming
God Bless
PaK
I am a HUGE Loretta Lynn fan and I just appreciate the detail. You allow the tour guide to speak and your volume was clear. I also appreciated that you showed the Holler signage and such.
Thank you MiMi R
Yes, great video..never seen this before.
Who is the lady talking about the house?Guess I missed it some how.
Just went a couple of weeks before she past, I don’t know why we never went before, living so close. I love Loretta
This is cool my aunt went to school with Loretta Lynn
Thank you for sharing becky
Not being disrespectful at all....that must have been elementary school... didn't Mrs Lynn become a mom VERY young..at like 13-14
@@ladyyankeerebel3067 yes she was a mom at 14 but at 14 I was a sophomore in high school just saying is all dont assume elementary if a child doesn't fa8l grade at 14 should be a sophomore in high school I was 17 when I graduated high school was barely 13 my freshman year
Lucky girl!
I love country music grew up on so hearing and seeing the history of Loretta Lynn and how she came to be was absolutely wonderful. I know I will never make it there so thamk you for sharing that little piece of history. Beautiful
My step dad took me to coal miners daughter 5 nights in a row. Last time i went to see her.. She had fallen and was recovering in Tennessee. Her ranch is worth the visit. This lady is amazing.
Thank you for sharing Connie
My grandmother loved Loretta Lynn so much that she named my mom after her. It’s nice to see where Loretta Lynn grew up other then the movie Coal Miners Daughter. Thanks for sharing this.
Reminds me of my Great grandmas house in Beckley, West Virginia. No electricity, no running water, and an outhouse lol. Great grandpa was a coal miner and died of black lung before I was born. When we went to visit had to go to the "crick" to get water for baths and cooking. Its the quietest most beautiful place ive ever been. Up on a small hill is where the house is and me being from the city ive never seen the sky more beautiful. No light bleed so you can see everything. Our family was poor as hell but it always seemed like we had just enough. Ill never forget the John Henry statue we passed every time on the drive up either. The memories =)
This was so nice to watch. They need to build a protective shield over this. 👍 tour young lady.
Rest in peace loretta. You were a wonderful singer.
Love this one especially my mother was a daughter of a coal miner (my grandfather) in Kentucky too. That's why I always loved Loretta Lynn and of course her music! I have to go see this place thank you for sharing!
Thanks for sharing Crazy Granny
Crazy Granny my dad is the son of a coal miner. My grandpa owned his own little mine, was a magistrate of the county and was a preacher. East southern Kentucky. Oh the times back then. I am 47. He past away when I was around seven or so. Heart problems. I believe it was heartattack that got him. He helped build the hollow where he and grandma lived and then later where I and my family lived. Some of my kin still live up that hollow. Me and my own family have since moved out of Kentucky.
AMY’S TRAVELS & VLOGS my fathers dad (my grandfather)died in the coal mines in KY my dad was 7 years old the mine collapsed on him never got to meet my grandfather but of course I met my mother's dad but later on after my grandfather retired he passes away from black lung😞 A lot of my kin still live in KY. Mom dad never wanted to work in the mines he moved to Cleveland Ohio when he was 17 got a job working for GM.
Ilove read all about this I went to visit her home place and in joy it I am going to visit her places that she has now I would like to see her Ism 87 years old
She will never be replaced or forgotten. An American treasure.🥰💙👍
That was the best trip you've taken us on, AWESOME! Thank you very much.
Back when the American dream was real, and alive....
Yah, nothing like working in a coal mine
All the old houses have s veranda.So nice to sit with family out there.
But could these houses withstand the cold weather.
What kind of heat did they have?.Maybe they made a fire but are the windows airtight???.
@@bubujooestes1499 Houses were built that way to avoid being flooded by the creeks in the hollow.
The American dream is still real.
But the dream doesn't belong to Americans anymore.
The dream belongs to anyone who hates it, and wants to make it into their personal Never-Never Land.
They don't want to fight, defend, and change their own country, for the better... just ours.
I have always been a fan of Loritta Lynn. Few years back going through TN to get to our daughters wedding we stopped stopped at a small town. Had know idea where we were, it was very late and very tired. Only hotel in town had one room left. Noticed the cafe next door and it said Loretta cafe. To my surprise we were in Hurrican, TN and down the road was Loretta Lynn's mansion. Unfortunately we were not able to tour but what an exciting find..so close and yet so far away in hoping to see her. Just thought I would share.
You guys seem so happy together. Makes me happy watching your videos. Especially ones of Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg. One of my most favorite places to get away to and commune with the beautiful mountains. My ex-husband honeymooned down there. Makes me yearn for those days again. Thank you for your channel.
Omg I enjoyed that tour so much.. Made me tear up..love Loretta..thanks for sharing
Great to see, the price is very good. I would of liked Not to see so many pictures on the bed and everywhere...for it to be more authentic. But very glad this home was saved through the years. 💌. Thanks for the spot light on Loretta's Childhood Home.
Thanks for sharing this! Love seeing how peope lived back then. Loretta Lynn has always been one of my favorite female singers.
Impressed with the nice; she did a great and thorough job as guide - presenting all those precious old antique items in Lorettas childhood home. She didn't skip a beat, mince her words, waste a moment in bringing us the goods. 'Niecy' certainly gave us the bang for the bucks. And I thoroughly enjoyed the entire video. Thanks. God bless.
Thanks Walter
Coal Miners Daughter is still one of my favorite movies. I was raised in coal country so I could relate in many ways to how life was in these small towns. The fair grounds in the movie was where I was raised. That was a traveling fair by James H. Drew Expeditions which would travel from town to town to set up the fair for a week. We use to look forward to the yearly fair to come. The guy in the movie who won the auction for the pie Loretta made was my school bus driver when I was in school. His sister taught me and my brother piano lessons at her home. I just adore the movie of Lorettas life and have watched it many times through the years.
Thank you for sharing your memories
It’s because of that movie that I developed a taste for country music, bit old country music not the new stuff.
Your channel popped up and I decided to watch it, it has great content Ii truly enjoy the Loretta Lynn story, and the general store. Thank you so much for sharing & yes I subscribed 🥰
Thank you 😊
This is amazing. My mother grew up in Elchorn City kentucky so this reminds me a lot of my mothers stories.

Hi. I just found your channel. Yes, I've always been a huge fan of Loretta Lynn. I was so saddened to hear of her passing. I do remember the movie, Coal Miner's Daughter.
Seeing the original house so beautifully cared for. Her Niece is so adorable and informative.
Hello Dear
How are you doing today?
I love the old way of life and my heritage is there in that life. So glad to see others sharing the blessings of it.
I went to see Loretta Lynn's place with friend's if I could I would love to go back again it's a memory to never forget I loved that place. I have loved her music ever since I was a kid.
Great video. Husband and I enjoyed it . We moved to Van Lear, Ky about a year ago and absolutely love it here. The people are genuine and will go out of their way to make you feel at home.
This is beautiful! Thanks for the share. May Loretta Lynn rest in peace. 🙏
Loretta makes me proud to be a ky girl. I love her and her music. She's my favorite female country music singer by far. There will be another to come close to her. She has a big heart and a strong spine. Pure unbridled spirit.
What about Patsy Cline?

Thanks for sharing. I am so happy to run across this. I have always loved Pasty Cline and Loretta, Crystal Gail. They are all beautiful
I like watching tours of old homes this is my favorite
My family is from Vanleer and auxier Kentucky but most live in Paintsville and Prestonsburg Kentucky now but we go back for family reunions and such and its like going back in time or to another world. I love it there. I still live in Kentucky just a different part which is Greenup. I love Kentucky a lot of it is so rural, peaceful, and beautiful.

I visit Kentucky. Every summer my oldest son live there and I love visiting there I live in mo.
