Renfro Valley folks have been performing the very best in traditional Kentucky Country Music for more than 50 years. We’re on our way to sample this musical heritage and the natural beauty of central Kentucky’s Daniel Boone country. Cruising southward through the lovely Shenandoah Valley will bring us to our lodging for the evening in Dublin, Virginia.

This morning we will travel to Stearns, Kentucky for an open-air 12-mile round trip train excursion aboard the Big South Fork Scenic Railway. Our ride will carry us down a gradual decline into a 600-foot deep gorge, through rock tunnels, along a wild mountain stream, and past abandoned mines and camps in an area dubbed the “Yellowstone of the East”. At the end of the line is the Blue Heron Mining Community where we can explore and enjoy our coal miner’s lunch neatly wrapped in a keepsake red bandanna. After checking into our lodging in Renfro Valley, Kentucky we will depart for the Renfro Valley Entertainment Complex where we’ll enjoy a boarding house style dinner plus two popular Jamboree shows. The down-home hospitality and outstanding talent promise a hand-clappin’, toe-tappin’ good time! CB, L, D

This morning we will stop in Chalk Hill, PA where we will enjoy a tour of Kentuck Knob, a second residence designed by the famous architect Frank Lloyd Wright. Constructed of native fieldstone and tidewater red cypress, the house blends impeccably with its surroundings. The interior, expansive and intimate, reflects the presence of its current owners, Lord and Lady Palumbo. With stops for lunch and rest, we will arrive home by early evening. CB
