My mom is 90 yrs old, and Loretta's life is very similar to hers. My grandpa was a coal miner in KY, there were 12 kids in the family, and eventually our family moved to Indiana. My uncle did not want to work in coal mines! I remember when mom saw the movie the first time, it brought tears to her eyes.

Few years back, me and my family had the opportunity to visit butcher holler. Hermenetta, Herman's daughter was our tour guide at the homestead and she did a wonderful job. We even got to meet Herman, which is Loretta's brother, but now has passed. Every little detail at the home was extremely sentimental and we so much enjoyed the visit. BTW, WHILE THERE, ME AND MY FAMILY NOTICED A COUPLE PICTURES INSIDE OF THE HOME OF OUR UNCLE LARRY SPARKS, THE BLUEGRASS SINGER. HE IS OUR MOM'S BABY BROTHER. MADE US PROUD TO SEE HIS PIC THERE. ❤️

Thank you for this wonderful video. My Mother, daughter and I went to Butcher Holler to visit Loretta's family homeplace in 1988. I was born and raised in Clay County KY and it was quite a long drive to Van Lear. Herman Webb, Loretta's brother and Connie's father, saw us going up the holler and he jumped in his truck and followed us. Herman was kind enough to unlock the cabin door and take us on a little tour. We saw all those wonderful old pieces of furniture and the old family pictures. He talked about his parents, Ted and Clarie, and his brothers and sisters. He told us a few family stories. We enjoyed the visit and we were so grateful to Herman. After our visit was over and we got ready to leave, I saw that we had a flat tire on our car. Thankfully Herman was gracious enough to change our flat tire for us....it was either that or he'd have to keep us all night. LOL I will never forget what a fine man Herman was. RIP Herman Webb.

On wash day we packed buckets of water from our hand dug well about 100 feet to fill up two three bushel wash tubs for the old Maytag winger washing machine, no cloths dryer just good clothes line to hang the washed clothes on. I remember doing this as a child 1960. The sad thing is none of us thought of hanging on to any old things at the time was there was plenty of it around and not worth keeping. I live in Pike county Kentucky and music plays a big role here in your life.

[@leighflorkevich9916]

I'm from West Virginia and so the scenery is exactly the same as in my neck of the woods. In fact, Loretta's homeplace looks like the house my grandmother lived in when I was a child. Maw Maw, as folks in this area most often call their grandmothers, carried water from a well and had an outhouse too. A miner's life was a hard one back then.

Wow this brings back so many memories. I've been to Butcher Holler many times but not since the 80's with my parents and grandparents. I'm so glad they opened the house up for tours, you couldn't go inside back then. Also back then the road was all gravel and the store was still run by Herman Webb( Loretta's brother and I guess your tour guides dad?). He was such a nice man and talked to my family like he knew us all our lives. Also up on the hill by the house is the family cemetery where a lot of her family is buried. In the movie Dew takes a bulldozer up the mountain and clears a path. It's amazing how Loretta and Crystal became so famous from such a small place. It reminds me of the Partons and their upbringing. It just goes to show anyone can make it with a dream and determination. Thanks for another amazing video!

[@brendabooher6683]

I love Loretta Lynn and I love the small towns and country folk. They are so friendly and no stranger to hard work. Just don't get any better

[@ChacoteOutdoorRecreation]

Once Upon a Time a girl from a working family could have a dream, and that dream could come true. That dream and the ability to dream it is my America, I was willing to die for it as a young man and as an old man I would do it without the fear. The next time you are hurting please remember you are part of a big brother and sisterhood, and it may hurt but you never hurt alone and sometimes that hurt becomes a fuel for your dreams. Loretta proved that and she may have died but what she did, that lives forever every time somebody gets back up and faces the hell of this world, every time!!!

[@galerandall8773]

Me and my friend went there in 2006, and it was such a personal experience. When we went, there was nobody at the house selling tickets for the tour. You had to stop at Webb's General Store, and the Clerk there would call up Loretta's brother who lived across from the old home place. He'd meet you at the house and show you around, explaining every item, in detail, just as his daughter did in this video. I imagine he's too elderly to handle the tours anymore (or perhaps he's passed on, as he was up in age when I met him). Unlike most tours like this, you aren't rushed. You can take your time and ask questions and feel a special connection with Loretta through her relatives. It's a great experience I highly recommend!

[@smiththomson95]

Love their voices and music, smooth, kinda relaxing to hear womens voices that have comforting softness,yet calming effect. Womens voices calm a dude down,unless they are being an idiot.

[@grantfarkas2715]

My Dad listened to Grand Old Opry on the family radio from Chicago. I watched Loretta Young on tv singing Coal Miners Daughter. I loved Patsy Cline music. My Dad played Johnny Cash records, his favorite song of Dolly Parton was Coat Of Many Colors. My Dad listened to The Carter Family as a kid so I bought him many of the original albums remastered on vinyl records. Country singers back in the day sang about real life and stories about when they grew up that's country to me. I was into rock & roll but my dad made me a country music fan for life. The lyrics of country songs will be forever in memory including Coal Miners Daughter. 🎶🎙🎸

I have always been a fan of Loritta Lynn. Few years back going through TN to get to our daughters wedding we stopped stopped at a small town. Had know idea where we were, it was very late and very tired. Only hotel in town had one room left. Noticed the cafe next door and it said Loretta cafe. To my surprise we were in Hurrican, TN and down the road was Loretta Lynn's mansion. Unfortunately we were not able to tour but what an exciting find..so close and yet so far away in hoping to see her. Just thought I would share.

Love the historical, humble beginnings of this music icon. Wonderful tour of the family homestead. Very easy to relate to. My father grew up in similar manner in southern OH. No electricity or indoor plumbing. The well and outhouse nearby. Oil lamps for light, wood stove for heat and cooking, food cellar under the house. My grandfather was a mule skinner in the coal mines near Cambridge, OH. Rural life back then was all about hard work, survival, and church on Sunday.

[@MrsMwl2004]

My family up until the 1980's grew up just like this. My grandad worked the coal mines in WV-VA.

[@lauriek6424]

Thank you very much for taking us there. Very interesting! I love Loretta Lynn. She was the real deal, a very tough, talented woman.

[@canadasbubbleologyshow1438]

thats not how Loretta told the story of Crystal getting her name, when she was born Loretta said she wanted to name her, although her given name is Brenda, Loretta always looked after her and she had her and said your eyes sparkle like Crystals now I am going to call you Crystal because mama said I can name you but she always went by Brenda but not when Loretta was around and yes the record company said we already have a Brenda ( Lee ) and yes Loretta said then you are my baby sister Crystal...that`s how Loretta told it, now I am confused...

[@UnKnown-zy1km]

Thank you for posting this tour. I love Loretta Lynn I always thought she was so pretty and her personality shined definitely my favorite country singer. I'm a country girl but don't listen to a lot of country music always been a rocker but Loretta was special I grow up Watching and listening to her. Coal Minors Daughter was a great movie reminded me of my family who are from mostly Kentucky and Tennessee by grandfather was a coal miner at one time then he moved from Kentucky to Florida and worked for the Country and that's where he retired from. Loretta died not long ago about 2 weeks ago I cried cause she was truly one of a kind she will be missed by all that loved and knew her and all those who seen her story and listen to her sign she was as lovely as a song bird. One thing I always remember is lorretta statement about eating bologna she really thought it made a person horney as she said. I laughed so hard at the story.... RIP Loretta Lynn thank you for sharing your life and your voice with the world. You will be very much missed

[@MamaBearsCookingandAdventures]

That was the best trip you've taken us on, AWESOME! Thank you very much.

[@mimir3070]

I am a HUGE Loretta Lynn fan and I just appreciate the detail. You allow the tour guide to speak and your volume was clear. I also appreciated that you showed the Holler signage and such.

[@yankeeinthesouth]

Thank you MiMi R

[@beesmith9508]

Yes, great video..never seen this before. Who is the lady talking about the house?Guess I missed it some how.

[@donnab7666]

I love country music grew up on so hearing and seeing the history of Loretta Lynn and how she came to be was absolutely wonderful. I know I will never make it there so thamk you for sharing that little piece of history. Beautiful

[@calzman]

Reminds me of my Great grandmas house in Beckley, West Virginia. No electricity, no running water, and an outhouse lol. Great grandpa was a coal miner and died of black lung before I was born. When we went to visit had to go to the "crick" to get water for baths and cooking. Its the quietest most beautiful place ive ever been. Up on a small hill is where the house is and me being from the city ive never seen the sky more beautiful. No light bleed so you can see everything. Our family was poor as hell but it always seemed like we had just enough. Ill never forget the John Henry statue we passed every time on the drive up either. The memories =)

[@dorothywatts4973]

This was so nice to watch. They need to build a protective shield over this. 👍 tour young lady.

[@denisewaukau3478]

I grew up like Loretta's home life. Only it was the 60's thru 70's until we got running water too the farm house we owned in later 70's I think around 74'! Now I'm going to be turning 60..WOW, Awesome too see.

[@yankeeinthesouth]

Thank you for sharing Denise

[@granny1694]

Love this one especially my mother was a daughter of a coal miner (my grandfather) in Kentucky too. That's why I always loved Loretta Lynn and of course her music! I have to go see this place thank you for sharing!

[@yankeeinthesouth]

Thanks for sharing Crazy Granny

[@amystravelsvlogsmore6064]

Crazy Granny my dad is the son of a coal miner. My grandpa owned his own little mine, was a magistrate of the county and was a preacher. East southern Kentucky. Oh the times back then. I am 47. He past away when I was around seven or so. Heart problems. I believe it was heartattack that got him. He helped build the hollow where he and grandma lived and then later where I and my family lived. Some of my kin still live up that hollow. Me and my own family have since moved out of Kentucky.

[@granny1694]

AMY’S TRAVELS & VLOGS my fathers dad (my grandfather)died in the coal mines in KY my dad was 7 years old the mine collapsed on him never got to meet my grandfather but of course I met my mother's dad but later on after my grandfather retired he passes away from black lung😞 A lot of my kin still live in KY. Mom dad never wanted to work in the mines he moved to Cleveland Ohio when he was 17 got a job working for GM.

[@normarowen8340]

[@loriemills8337]

Loretta makes me proud to be a ky girl. I love her and her music. She's my favorite female country music singer by far. There will be another to come close to her. She has a big heart and a strong spine. Pure unbridled spirit.

[@arthurgearheard4701]

What about Patsy Cline?

[@chotimeshotime8394]

My grandmother loved Loretta Lynn so much that she named my mom after her. It’s nice to see where Loretta Lynn grew up other then the movie Coal Miners Daughter. Thanks for sharing this.

[@jonismith9723]

I like watching tours of old homes this is my favorite

[@adventuresofohana1716]

Thanks for sharing this! Love seeing how peope lived back then. Loretta Lynn has always been one of my favorite female singers.

[@frankdel5115]

This is amazing. My mother grew up in Elchorn City kentucky so this reminds me a lot of my mothers stories.

[@bettytayl0r13]

[@ThornRose2011]

Holy shit! I honestly felt like that was my home. No joke. I was raised in a house almost like that, along with an outhouse. Except we had electricity. No in door bathroom. Had to go out and get wood to keep us warm. No wash boards... My mom went to the laundry mat. But I honestly felt like it was the house that I was raised in. I didnt really care for Loretta Lynns music growing up. It was old and stuff (being a teen) but since my mama passed away 3 years ago, ive been listening to her music and crying cause I always think about my mom singing to her songs.

[@sharonsteelman6330]

I also grew up like that. I'm from Ky. and we didn't have running water or a furnace. I remember my Mom cooking on a wood stove. We did have electric though. By the time I left home they had modernized it all the way, but those memories stick with you forever.

[@mariehilton73]

You guys seem so happy together. Makes me happy watching your videos. Especially ones of Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg. One of my most favorite places to get away to and commune with the beautiful mountains. My ex-husband honeymooned down there. Makes me yearn for those days again. Thank you for your channel.

[@bonniecoward9448]

Great to see, the price is very good. I would of liked Not to see so many pictures on the bed and everywhere...for it to be more authentic. But very glad this home was saved through the years. 💌. Thanks for the spot light on Loretta's Childhood Home.

[@thefutureofyesterday8136]

Coal Miners Daughter is still one of my favorite movies. I was raised in coal country so I could relate in many ways to how life was in these small towns. The fair grounds in the movie was where I was raised. That was a traveling fair by James H. Drew Expeditions which would travel from town to town to set up the fair for a week. We use to look forward to the yearly fair to come. The guy in the movie who won the auction for the pie Loretta made was my school bus driver when I was in school. His sister taught me and my brother piano lessons at her home. I just adore the movie of Lorettas life and have watched it many times through the years.

[@yankeeinthesouth]

Thank you for sharing your memories

[@Maddie9185]

It’s because of that movie that I developed a taste for country music, bit old country music not the new stuff.

[@bonniebrown6960]

I've been to Loretta's ranch Hurricane Mills before , but I've never been to her childhood home in Kentucky ( Butcher Holler ) . I'd love to go see it in person someday , but at least I get to see your video . I kinda wish she would've slowed down just a little bit though , so you could've got a better shot of all the pictures of who was who . Anyway.... congratulations !! I know that had to be so exciting . I probably would've bought some of that jelly in the jars at the general store . That would've been a good souvenir . 😉 ❤ Thanks for taking us along on your trip !!!

[@Dhlakegirl]

I’m from Kentucky and have always wanted to go there, thanks so much for this video.

[@abbyd323]

Dhlakegirl So would I. I’m originally from Jackson Ky and I don’t know the times I’ve been through here but never stopped...

[@Dhlakegirl]

Abby D I know me too! I’m def gonna have to put this on my bucket list 😊

[@PamelaTaylor]

It very beautiful

[@jamiegearheart2239]

Our creeks was our roads. My house is on creek. So it's actually number first street.

[@froghead865]

Great video. Husband and I enjoyed it . We moved to Van Lear, Ky about a year ago and absolutely love it here. The people are genuine and will go out of their way to make you feel at home.

[@waltersalley7781]

Impressed with the nice; she did a great and thorough job as guide - presenting all those precious old antique items in Lorettas childhood home. She didn't skip a beat, mince her words, waste a moment in bringing us the goods. 'Niecy' certainly gave us the bang for the bucks. And I thoroughly enjoyed the entire video. Thanks. God bless.

[@yankeeinthesouth]

Thanks Walter

[@LuckyDawgProductionsModerator]

Enjoyed seeing these places. Loved the old house and the old-time store. Still have some little stores like that back in Ohio.

[@sirdukeusa3289]

Looks like our county after the mines shut down, just a ghost town. Love, love Loretta Lynn, loved the movie about her and Sissy Spacek done a terrific job playing her. Rural here mean's no man's land. That yellow guitar is a Gretch. My grandma had one just like it. What's with all the writing on the walls? That old long tub hanging on the house, I took a many a baths in one just like it. I live in West Virginia.

[@nancyduncan6594]

I know she is amazing. We had 8 siblings in our family, my father had 3 jobs to feed us and clothed us. His main job was delivering furniture. He died and is in the National Cemetary in Bourne, MA along with my mother.

[@kathysharpe7339]

How long did it take for her father to get to work everyday

[@thebewitchinghour831]

From what I caught in the video, it's just people's signatures and dates when they were there visiting.

[@cimarronpasshomestead5998]

I love the old way of life and my heritage is there in that life. So glad to see others sharing the blessings of it.

[@lifeofamomadventures771]

Hi. I just found your channel. Yes, I've always been a huge fan of Loretta Lynn. I was so saddened to hear of her passing. I do remember the movie, Coal Miner's Daughter. Seeing the original house so beautifully cared for. Her Niece is so adorable and informative.
