a simple life in the appalachian mountains - all chapters
YouTube just recently granted me the privilege of uploading longer videos, thus I was able to string together all three chapters of previously released chapters of 'a simple life in the appalachian mountains' plus new footage at the front and back ends that was not included in the earlier released videos. This video represents our July 1st 2001 visit with Gene & Hansel at their homestead in eastern TN and in the lovely appalachian mountains complete from start to finish. I hope that you enjoy this experience as much as we did. Thank you for watching.
Salyersville, Ky | Kentucky Life | KET
Kentucky Life visits the Magoffin County town of Salyersville. Located on the Licking River, the town (population 1,883) was established out of the former Adamsville in 1860, the same year the county was formed out of parts of Morgan, Johnson and Floyd counties.
A big draw here is the Pioneer Village, where the Magoffin County Historical Society has rebuilt original log cabins—some dating back to the early 1800s—to create a living history museum. The society also runs a genealogical library and honors a different family each year for Founders Days.
The town sits in the Eastern Coal Field, and a major employer here is Joy Global, a mining equipment manufacturer with operations worldwide.
Salyersville is rebuilding after an EF3 tornado on March 2, 2012, damaged schools, homes, and several Mountain Parkway businesses. With the work of untold numbers of people, the town is slowly getting back on its feet. Signs of renewal include groundbreaking for a new church, the reopening of the Subway restaurant, and the reopening of an auto parts store.
