Area held so many interesting story's. The history, pictures of buildings and steamboats were neat. The natural bridge opening underneath for a hike to the river and old old country store were most impressive. Great area to visit.

Could live in gravel switch in a heart beat. Love old small towns.

I've lived in Gravel Switch for over 20 years, and it definitely is a beautiful place to call home. Penn's Store stays quite busy during the summer, as a lot of us spend our weekends swimming and camping nearby at the North Rolling Fork River. Our little town has just as much history, if not more, than many of the largest cities in the U.S. Some of it good, some of it bad, but all interesting...like when John Dillinger robbed the bank here in 1933.

My father was born in Gravel Switch Kentucky.

What a great video!

Penns store.....sooooo cool!

Loved the history of Penn store. Really enjoy these videos!

We're in Kentucky for the first time. That Rocky Hill railroad depot is fantastic. I love old railroad buildings. My mom and I were driving around in Oklahoma back in June looking for some place and while doing so we stumbled onto a town called Dougherty that had this great old railroad building. It was a big building that hadn't been used in ages but back in the day I'll bet it saw a lot of business. That was a great accidental find.

I. Love. Ky. Amen. Thank. You. God. Bless. You

Love Creelsboro. Look at that giant banner "Welcome to Creelsboro" outside of that store like it just gets hundreds of tourists every day. Look at that old mansion-type building. Imagine the lives that lived in that building. I bet it was a very well-off family. Wish it could be restored. Looks beautiful. Bonus trip to bridge!

I lived in Kentucky for a short time, and it is absolutely beautiful!! I love all the photos you got of the old buildings!

The Natural Bridge is fantastic! And Penn's Store is a wonderful reminder of determined continuity and steadfastness. Thanks for showing us!

Just came across your video! If you thought Gravelswitch was an odd name just know it’s nickname to us locals is GravelScratch! 😂 much ❤

I live close to penn’s store. It’s a really old store and I’m surprised it still stands today.

As usual the music is always great. Whenever I hear a banjo I think of my dad who was a banjo picker.😊

You showed pictures of it, but you didn't mention the Creelsboro Country Store built in. 1869 and still has the original shelving. Now with an attached eatery. Went there 2 months ago. Good food and neat items in the store! You should have ate there. Staff was super friendly.

Great story about the Penn store. Place like that, even if it's just a piece of candy, you have to buy something just out of respect for it.

wow, love that natural bridge

Come to Webster county Kentucky. We have two towns like that here. One is Diamond and wheat craft.

This was GREAT! Thanks for posting these.

You should’ve headed on down to perryville and visited the perryville battlefield. The battle of perryville was fought during the cilvil war.

You left out the Great Outhouse Blowout & the Outhouse Races at Penns Store in Gravel Switch. Also we have to ask after seeing the shirt: Skyline or Goldstar? Who Dey🐅

Shoutout for the Dolomite clip!

You like strange names? I was born in Pee Wee Valley Ky in 1974 on the SDA compound.
