Sitting in my bunk at a truck stop in Pennsylvania, eating a late lunch and watching this video. Lol. When I was a teen in the 1980s, my sister and I were two Black girls in Augusta, GA, who memorized much of the dialogue and music from The Coal Miner's Daughter. We love Loretta (and Dolly and Patsy)! Thanks for taking me along a route I couldn't get through in my truck.

My brother ran the AT&T lines up the holler he has passed now so I watched this to see his work I miss him so much.

Cool road trip up the road. Love how this was done. The young man doing the tour (Loretta's great nephew(?) ), did a fantastic job!

I loved watching this so much! My dear friend Sandy lives in Alabama, and it looks so similar. I lived in Kentucky back in the 70’s and it was a wonderful place too. I’m from Michigan and there’s a big difference between people in the south and north. Just about everyone is friendly and seems happier. God bless your he south✝️☮️

Wow amazing! Thank you so much for the road trip ❤ God bless you 🙏

It would have been awesome to have grown up in that house, with a big family, and lots of music, but most of all lots of love. I grew up in a old house, just a county away. It was a 4 room house, I'm the youngest out of 9, plus my parents. We had a open well, by the house, that we drew water from, for everything needed for the house. We had a ringer washer, big tubs to rinse our clothes, and hang them on a clothes line. I was raised old school I guess you could say. But they were some of the best days of my life. We had our share of bad times, but we were loved. We raised gardens, cows, pigs, chickens. I miss those days, growing up. My parents passed away years ago, and 3 of my brother's, and numerous other family members. I like that song I'd like to go back there. Precious memories. Thank you for sharing. God bless you all. I know years ago. A friend of mine took me up there to see Loretta Lynn's home place, they were closed. I saw it from a distance. This is the closest I've been to it. Once again thank you.

At 25:19, the picture in the wood frame is of my great grandma, Loretta and a few friends! My grandma is the tallest one in the picture. Her daddy was a minor and that’s how the two met. Her name was Betty Jennings, before she passed she always told us stories of her and Loretta growing up together. I’m so happy to see that there’s a picture up in the house.

Love Loretta Lynn love old country music and love watching this where loretta lived and grew up

LORETTA LYNN WORKED SO MUCH THRU THE GOOD & BAD TIMES AND NEVER GAVE UP HER FANS LOVE HER STILL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

Amazing VIDEO with awesome MUSIC!!! It is NOT the destination, it is the "JOURNEY"!!! YES!!! The {"PASSION"} lives..in....Butcher Holler!!!

What a nice thing to do for your mom. I enjoyed this...thank you!!!

Naturally beautiful.The good old days.

Wow, that is a remote location indeed...What a drive up into that Holler! Beautiful area and really enjoyed seeing the hoyse, thanks for sharing!

Hi I Love Loretta Lynn I Remember Win She Started Her Carrey An I’m Still love her Music I Got TO shake her Han WIN she Came To To My City In Houma Louisiana now I’m 92 Years Young Always Love Her Music-

So lucky to have been able to film this. When we went to visit, Herman was there also but didn't allow us to take any pictures or video. It was over 20 years ago so I suppose the blues have changed by now. They were very polite and friendly it's sadly we have no video to prove it. My mother actually grew up not far from there and had spoken to Loretta several times at concerts and such. The whole family is just lovely.

This is a great tour to Loretta Lynn's home place in butcher holler. I might take that tour one day myself! It comes up on Google! It's only a seven-hour trip from Atlanta. I Love her story and how no body gave her anything. This is what America is all about. Came from humble beginnings to become a legend. This is one of the greatest things I've ever seen! I've seen coal Miner's daughter probably a hundred times and can quote just about every part of the movie. I've got to be Loretta Lynn's number one #1 black fan and proud of it. Thank you for this video I will probably watch plenty of times until we make that trip one day. We're big fans.

This was such a wonderful watch - I'm feeling so nostalgic! I remember taking a trip down to Kentucky years ago with my grandparents and we visited Loretta's childhood home. Even though I was too young to cherish it in the way I would now, I still remember the little fan in the dining room and the horse I was gushing over in her yard. Thank you tons for this post, I feel like I'm reliving it all over again.

Oh wow, been there 3 times and it's better each time I go there!!! Beautiful and lovely place! Thank you for sharing and for the memories, 🎻🎸🎹🎺🎤💜🙏🎼💐🌹🙂⚘💋🎶🦋

Those winding roads and all the greenery looks so beautiful. When I go back to the town where I grew up in Puerto Rico almost identical. A lot of hills and beautiful landscape and the people are the most humble nicest people you’ll ever meat. I love it. Big fan of Loretta

Wonderful scenery and wonderful music. The whole thing reminds me of my youth in the country hills.

The music alone is worth watching. Thanks for sharing this video!

Thank ya Lorettie may the good Lord be with you you live a full life❤

That was really cool. Thank you for the video.

Thank you for sharing. That was great to see.

I only live about 30-45 minutes from paintsville Kentucky! I’ve talked with her family and yup of course toured the homestead! I live up in the hills in a holler too! Peace and quiet and beautiful view up in our hills! Glad you guys enjoyed your trip!

Excellent. Thank you.

Thanks for this nice film. So much better than the movie.I wish I could see Ms.Lynn's home and see it in real life,Thank you TJ for filming this and sharing it on KZfaq 👍👍👍

I sure hope they get fund raising for upkeep.... because the ceiling looks rough......we need to preserve history like this ..... Loretta was true country and such a beautiful woman.

This is so fabulous. Thank you a million times over

my husband and I live in KY...took a drive to her childhood home...was amazing...walked through her house and sat on front porch with her brother and talked to him about their childhood and the movie...he was a very nice man and was happy to talk about their life...best trip ever

Looks like the good life to me. I love the country.

Loretta is my grandmothers 2nd cousin. I am a Webb by birth. I grew up hearing stories about her, trying to figure out why everyone else knew her too.

That dog laying on the road is so country we always drove around them too.

I went down that road to the old cabin. I met Loretta's brother that day about 7 years ago....at the time the old Van Leer coal company store was the local Post Office, and one of her niece's was the Post Master, she came to the cabin to check up on her Daddy and we got to meet her....she looks just like Loretta...

I am in my seventies and have lloved Lotetta and her family for years. We traveled to Butcher Hollow three times. The house and all around it has changed since the first time there. Concidering how the road is now I would conciider it paved.. we hit brush the whole way in both sides of the car. There were heaves in the road. The house was sitting alone in need of repair. Next time it had been newly done over in bat n 'board. Third time it looked as it does now with the mini museum. We got a flat tire and Loretta's brother helped us out. Memories.

Thanks for all the great comments from everyone :) I am getting a kick out of how many people really enjoy this video. It was mom's idea to go as she is a huge Loretta Lynn fan. I am glad to see people like you appreciate it as much as she did. It was a good trip to make

I grew up listening to Loretta Lynn, Conway Twitty, Merle Haggard and so many other great country music artists. Frankly, it's the only country music I truly enjoy...the old stuff. It touches the soul. Thank you for this video. I enjoyed seeing the beautiful scenery and seeing the old homestead of the Webb Family. It was a wonderful idea on your part.

Well they was down right well-to-do for hill folk. Loretta grew up in a lovely country home with all the modern conveniences it seems. Stoves, fireplace , big front porch with a swing, great cook stove, washing machine, land of their own, plenty of bedrooms for everyone. Before I got married at the ripe old age of 13 , I remember visiting my grannies house and actually being able to peek through the walls in places. Granny also had many holes (windows) that only had screen in summer and plastic in winter , with a shutter that one had to go outside and pull the stick out to let it down for closing it; We had the convenience of lard buckets to sit upon and coffee cans to use in the winter when we didn't want to go out to the outhouse , two wood stoves, and a fine root cellar. Of course , my grandparents were only share croppers and had no land of their own or a fine miners job to make ends meet on a regular basis. I would say Loretta has been very very blessed all her days. Love me some Loretta. God Bless Doo for having the sense to get her out of the holler so the world could meet and enjoy her and her beautiful voice.

every thing about miss Lynn is interesting so good to see her first home she's such a sweet down to earth lady good health an luck always much love

Some of those houses were GORGEOUS on the drive in. Nice little pieces of heaven there.

you're welcome and thanks for watching, Neat that you talked to Mr. & Mrs Webb. It was worth the trip for us. Mom was really looking forward to it as she is a HUGE Loretta Lynn fan and is really glad that we got to go see it.

Thank you for that tour of Loretta Lynn's home. The drive there was awesome. I felt as if I were on vacation.

What a wonderful tour. I am such a Loretta fan, and glad you (TJ) and your family took me on this tour. Now one of these days, I really want to go there!!!

I am 13 But I have been a huge fan of lorretta lynn ever since I could sing. I love her song coal miners daughter how I am also a coal miners daughter. It is truly my dream to meet her. I don't even know what my reaction would be if I did meet her \.

Nice trip. Thank you for taking me with you.

My stepmom and her friend was extras in the scene at the fair ground where Loretta and Patsy sang in the rain..That was filmed in Wise Va. about 30 minutes from my hometown Big Stone Gap,Va..The first scene in the movie where Doo is driving the jeep on the winding road was filmed in Dorchester ,Va about 15 minutes from Big Stone Gap,Va..

Thank you so much for posting. I want to go see Loretta's childhood home and the area she grew up in. It's beautiful country. :)

I enjoyed it very much!! I'm watching Coal Miners daughter right now lol.

Thank you so much for sharing. My sister and I took this very same drive. Brings back wonderful memories. We started our road trip from San Diego to Maryland including Loretta Lynn's home in Hurricane Hills, TN and her Loretta Lynn's Kitchen also in Hurricane Hills then off to Butcher Holler. What a trip. My favorite of all time. My sister has since passed so thank you for sharing this it brings back so many memories or our Loretta Lynn, Elvis (Graceland) then the whole Washington DC trip. What an adventure my sister planned for her bucket list and...we made it happen. Thank you again and God Bless. Ms. V

I traveled all the way from Northern Maine just to come see Butcher Holler!!! I would do it again in a heartbeat!!! I have loved Loretta's music for as long as I can remember!!! My grand mother always told me that as a baby I would get fussy but as soon as she played some Loretta I would calm down and just start smiling!! Love you Loretta

I simply enjoyed this video thanks for sharing it with us.

Thank you for sharing this video. I will probably never get to visit this place. This way, I can visit from my home. :)

i loe that place reminds me of when i was growing up.the young man showing the house was a gentlemen

I grew up along this very road (302) along with my friends cousins and lot of good people. I've lived in Cincinnati for a long time now and don't get back there much. Thanks so much for posting this. Saw both of my grandmother's houses (both now deceased) and it brought back lots of memories. so glad to have grown up in this small tight knit town.

Love the tour especially because my diease makes it hard for me to get out, reminds me alot of where i live and whr Ere i grew up,,, back roads of oregon

Thanks so much for the video I enjoyed hope to visit some day.Grew up listening to Loretta.Loved her and Conway songs.Thanks again. Nova Scotia Canada

I'm absolutely blown away after watching and seeing this Historic Home of Miss. Loretta Lynn whom my father used to play her songs where I grew up in St.Clair Shores, Michigan back in 1968 when I was 10 years old my folks played her songs and other Country hits, the kids would say to us, your family is Greek why do you all play country music? people are funny that way I guess, we Loved Country in our house my father was a musician and he loved it all !! I ALWAYS wondered what "Butcher Holler" meant and where it really was !! and now I know.....what an amazing peace of History.....WE LOVE YOU LORETTA !!! YOU ARE A COAL MINORS DAUGHTER......Respectfully, Tony H......Thank you for sharing !!

Wow I will go there sometime I love vintage and the old ways of living

Thank you for taking me on this nice trip with you!

I have always wondered what Loretta Lynn's childhood home looked like and the area. Thank you for making such a well made video. I am in New Zealand where we have many isolated rural areas so to me it is not so isolated.

Thank Yall so much for posting all of this, I cried while watching it, I am a HUGE Loretta Fan I even have a Loretta Room, I probably wont ever get to go & see it for myself but I felt like it watching this thank yall

Surely wish we could have seen upstairs. And been shown where the mine was from the house. Great video. Thanks so much for sharing

Absolutely LOVED your video! I'm a big fan of Loretta Lynn and Country Music. This brought back a lot of memories. I grew up about the same time on the West Virginia side of Tug River. Unfortunately, I never had a chance to visit Butcher Holler. I remember all the hard times Loretta sings about in "Coal Miner's Daughter", but also remember many good times and family love. I've been gone from the area since about 1956. Still have family in Huntington and Louisa. I would love to visit Loretta's home place sometime. My mother had a kitchen cabinet like that for many years. We just called it the "kitchen cabinet" for lack of a better word. :) Thank you for sharing your wonderful video.

Im 20 and I went there too Im from Michigan and my grandpa is from Virginia and we were heading to Virginia to go to a funeral and we went through Kentucky and he saw a sign saying Butcher Hollar 8 miles and he said I think thats where Loretta Lynn is from and I remember the name from the movie so I said ya Papaw it is so we followed the narrow road and asked townsfolk where it was and they pointed the derection and we found it and it was just beautiful

Well I am double blessed today with this touching video and learning something new. In searching for a long lost relative's family (Richard Robinson), I come to realize from a newspaper clipping of his death (by a train accident, which he lost both legs), that it all happened right here in the area where one of my favorite country singers, Loretta Lynn Webb was born. Strangely enough, back in the late 1970's or early 80's, I went with a friend to this area where Loretta was born, not knowing the connection of this area to this relative. I love your video and it brought me back the second I saw the house she grew up in, though I never got to go inside. I was born in McDowell Co WV, so I know how the country roads are in the south, and actually though they were not bad at all compared to some I've seen recently in WV. Thank God for some paving here and there and making them thar roads a tad wider. lol Takes that nervousness out of me just a little. Anyway, again thank you for sharing this wonderful laid back video with us and taking us on the road with you. PS, if anyone in this area ever heard of the name Robinson I mentioned and had heard a story back in the day about this man (Richard Robinson), a coal miner of Van Lear, who, on his way to the post office in Jan 1921, tried to hop the freight train, loosing both legs and takin to Paintsville hospital where he died at 9:00 PM, please contact me at sheilajordan79@yahoo.com. Richard was my mom's father-in-law, and he had brothers Warren, William and Henry. Richard was married to Ruth Dawson. They had young children when he died, Warren, Willie and Shirley who was mom's first husband and father to her first 6 children. I have been searching a long time for Richard's parents and siblings. Please help me if you can. My oldest siblings are up there in age and it would be great to tell them I found their grandpa's family. Many blessings to you and your families. Sheila

VERY IMPRESSIVE! It's a true testimonial to old fashioned country values them Mr. Webb was able to raise 8 children to successful careers with so little. Especially Loretta and Brenda Gail. He must have been an incredible man, and her mom, wow, what a woman!

Very cool video and gorgeous scenery. Kirk..in Montreal, Canada....a city guy who loves country music, especially older country music.

I just happened on this video and I have to say now that I have seen it, I too am in thoughts of touring Butcher Hollar. Thank you for sharing. I loved it!!!

Big Hello from Derry/Londonderry Northern Ireland lovely to watch MH xo

It was really cool to see Loretta's childhood home. But I was under the impression they were poor. Better home than some folks today have. A gas powered washing machine is better than none at all. Many people today don't have a washing machine. Plenty of room in that old house. Looks as if they were comfortable. Beautiful place. Beautiful country. And the people seem to be down to earth. Great job on the video. Reminds me a little bit of West Virginia where I'm from. Thanks.

What a special treat..... I really enjoyed visiting Loretta Lynns childhood home through your eyes.

I went there on Easter Sunday one year. Herman himself gave us the tour. I wrote a paper for an Appalachian Literature class at Northern Kentucky University. We took a random dirt road on the way out of the holler and it ended up at Loretta's parent's grave site !

my husband and i just mived out of van lear... so many memories while you were driving for me lol... you passed both homes i lived in. my husband was born and raised off of 1107 and 302... thank you

Thank you for sharing this. I'll never get out that way, so it's nice seeing this. So much green.... beautiful.

Thank you for the video. I was born and raised and still live in Ky but and I love Loretta Lynn and Crystal Gayle. I have never been to Butcher Hollar but after this video I am Definitely going. Thanks again!

Thank you for sharing. I hope someday I can get there to see this.

If you're lookin at me... You're Lookin At Country!! =D That's what I keep thinkin watching your drive to Butcher Holler with all the green roads.. smiles..

Thanks for sharing! I really enjoyed watching the video.

Your A true Blessing.. Thanks So Much God Bless You And Your Family.. Brought Tears to My Eyes Hearing ur Wonderful Son. I Too Have been here many times And To Hurricain Mills And Even Visited With Mrs Lynn.. What A Great Time..

Thank you so much I was born and raised in Kentucky, raised on her music but never toured her birth place, what a wonderful treat !

lOVING THE COUNTRY

Great video, watch one of the best movies of all time, Coal Miners Daughter tonight, this movie never gets old

Thank YOU for taking and posting here!

Thank you for sharing this video. I have been a fan of Loretty's ever since I first saw 'Coal Miner's Daughter' when I was a kid. I have often wondered what it would be like to drive to Butcher Holler and now, thank's to your kind generosity I have been able to. :-)

Beautiful scenery

Thank you so much for posting this video, It's amazing where she came from and who he is today! I love Loretta Lynn so much, I may never get to Butcher Holler but I can say because of you I took the trip! Thanks again Bruce From Maine!

Thank you for sharing!!! I am a huge Loretta Lynn fan!

Wow much farther out than I thought! Thanks for posting. One of my favorite movies

I enjoyed the video thanks for sharing with me. I always wanted to vist there. this helped me alot. love Loretta singing always well

very nice drive. I miss green after so long out here in Arizona.

Enjoyed your video. Looks like it would actually have been a pretty nice house at the time that Loretta was growing up there. Hardly a shack.

you did a beautiful job filming this. i enjoyed it very much. thanks.

Watched the entire video. My wife and I have traveled quite a bit in our 40-plus years together and have seen many interesting places. Your video was the next best thing to being there and we really appreciate that you took the time to make this video and post it for others to share. Thank you so much. P.S. Hope you made it back down that narrow road OK.

This was awesome to see. My Dads parents were very poor - Loretta's home was a mansion compared to my grandparents home.

i am a distant relative to Loretta and Brenda and family for me this is coming home to a place I have never been but this is what I come from I am so proud of being an East Kentucky Hillbilly

Thank you so much for adding this video for public viewing. I grew up listening to Loretta Lynn. Love her music then and I love it now. I have always wanted to go tour her homestead but have never made it. Now it a bit to late. I love her and her music and this has made my day watching this.

Thank you so much for the video. I and my daughter are fans of Loretta Lynn. I really enjoyed the video. Since you like tours. The tour of Helen Keller and the music studio in Muscle Shoals, Al. is very nice.

I enjoyed your video so much. That was a big nice home for the times. It's amazing that it's still standing. Thanks for sharing, God Bless!

it is a nice drive and very pretty countryside

This is an amazing video. I felt like I was one of your family along for the ride. H ave always wanted to see this spot.....and thanks to your excellent job, of recording it, I have. This will hold me over until I get there myself. It was also nice to hear the background conversation, in the house. Made the whole experience that much more personal. Thank-you, so very much, for sharing your visit with all of us!!!
