Floyd County, Kentucky
Floyd County sits in eastern Kentucky, right in the thick of the Appalachians. Prestonsburg, the county seat, calls itself the “Star City of Eastern Kentucky”.
Though you might wonder where all the paparazzi are hiding. The county has deep roots in coal mining, but these days it’s trying to drum up tourism.
The Mountain Arts Center hosts the Kentucky Opry. And if you’re into history, check out the Battle of Middle Creek. It was a Civil War skirmish that somehow didn’t make it into your high school textbook.
