For country music fans, the hills and hollers surrounding U.S. 23 are hallowed ground. This part of Kentucky has a long and storied history of music and storytelling, and it has produced more hit country artists per capita than any other region. These artists have all made a lasting impact on the country music genre and have become icons of the industry.
The Country Music Highway Museum features 14 exhibits displaying memorabilia from the many US 23 country music stars who call Eastern Kentucky their home. Exhibits include Loretta Lynn, Chris Stapleton, Dwight Yoakam, Billy Ray Cyrus, Tom T. Hall, Keith Whitley, Larry Cordle, Rebecca Lynn Howard, Gary Stewart, Hylo Brown, Crystal Gayle, Ricky Skaggs, Patty Loveless, and The Judds. Join us for an evening of live bluegrass music and dancing during Front Porch Pickin’ every Thursday at 7pm.
