A Traveler's Experience

Country Music Highway (KY)

On our trip on the Country Music Highway, we traveled over Pine Mountain in Letcher County, KY and visited JD Maggard's Cash Store, established in 1914. What a place! It's the store used in filming "Coal Miner's Daughter" and the grandson of J.D. Maggard still runs the store. It has one gas pump and they still fix bologna sandwiches for you. There's always a coffeepot on for the local folks to share and talk about the mountains.
