Loretta Lynn’s Homeplace Butcher Holler

Visitors to Butcher Hollow can step back in time, walking through the very home where these legendary sisters grew up.

Through their music, Loretta and Crystal gave fame and respect to the hardworking coal miners and the rich cultural traditions of the region.

Here, the hills that inspired some of Loretta Lynn’s most famous songs are a living testament to the powerful bond between Kentucky’s land and its music. Whether you’re a fan of Loretta’s groundbreaking hits or simply curious about Kentucky’s rich musical heritage, Butcher Hollow is a must-see destination.
