Take a step back in time at Webb’s Grocery, previously known as the Number 5 Store because of the Number 5 mine located nearby.
The General Store near Butcher Hollow and Van Lear, Kentucky is a historic landmark. Built in 1918 for the Consolidation Coal Company, it is now on the National Register of Historic Places. Until 2018, Herman Webb, Loretta Lynn’s brother, ran the store and offered tours of their childhood home down the road. Herman Webb passed away in 2018, leaving the General Store as a reminder of the area’s rich history.
The store was portrayed in the movies “Coal Miner’s Daughter”, “Let It Be War”, and “Fifth Hollar”.
Visitors wishing to tour Loretta Lynn’s homeplace will need to stop in Webb’s Grocery.
