Loretta Lynn’s Ranch and Campground

I have always wanted to see Loretta Lynn's home and it did not disappoint. There are acres of beautiful land and all types of things to see. If you want to see a part of a country legend's essence you gotta stop by Loretta Lynn's ranch.

I’d have to say this is one of the most beautiful places I’ve been to in a while. The creek was cold, but refreshing on the hot day we visited. Caught lots of fish as we walked the creek quite a ways.

A Must-Visit for Any Traveler! Tucked back 1.5 miles off the main road, Loretta Lynn’s Ranch and Campground is a breathtaking place spread across 3,600 acres, complete with its own post office! Be sure to mail yourself a postcard just for the unique Hurricane Mills, TN hand-canceled stamp—such a cool keepsake! Even if you aren’t a huge Loretta Lynn fan (or think you know it all), trust me—you don’t! Start your visit at the General Store, where you can purchase tickets for the full experience, including the main museum (and it’s 100% worth it). Our tour began with a visit to the Butcher Holler cabin, an exact replica of the home where Loretta and her family grew up. The small space gives you a real appreciation for the humble beginnings that shaped her life, yet you can feel the love that filled the home. From there, we boarded a shuttle bus up to the historic home, where Loretta, Mooney, and their children lived through much of her legendary career. While only the downstairs is open to visitors, the home is packed with treasured memorabilia, furniture, and fan gifts that Loretta cherished. And if you think your grandmother’s collection of trinkets is impressive, wait until you see Loretta’s Avon Salt and Pepper Shaker collection—it’s massive! After returning to the main building, we explored the museum, and WOW, was it worth it! Beautifully curated by Tim Cobb (Loretta’s longtime dressmaker and personal assistant, who sadly passed in 2023), the museum is a true masterpiece. It showcases her life, career, and personal keepsakes, including many of her dazzling stage outfits, family heirlooms, and classic cars—even a replica of the bus from "Coal Miner’s Daughter." Outside, her actual tour bus sits proudly, having racked up over 3 million miles! The gift shop is well-stocked, with reasonably priced souvenirs and unique finds—definitely not the usual touristy fare. One thing missing from this visit was the coal mine exhibit, which I remember from a previous trip. Unfortunately, it was closed due to audio issues, and I hope they reopen it soon—it really gives insight into her father’s work in the Kentucky coal mines. Pro Tip: Before leaving, drive back up to Loretta’s Historic Home and take a photo on the grand staircase leading up to the property—it’s the perfect way to end your visit! Whether you're a die-hard fan or just love history and music, this place is an absolute gem. The attention to detail, rich storytelling, and true Southern hospitality make Loretta Lynn’s Ranch & Campground a must-visit destination!

Absolutely loved this place. Our experience was amazing mostly due to our guide Miss Gracie. She was so knowledgeable and sweet. Just loved her Tennessee accent too ❤️ We were there with Dream Vacation Tours.

I was amazed at all there is to see and do here. I really enjoyed my time here and so did my husband. Before we went here he didn't know anyone about Loretta Lynn but he still had a good time!

I love going to Loretta Lynn Ranch . Done been there 5 times are more but I never get tired of it. Love Loretta Lynn she is the Queen of Country Music and always will be. No one can ever take her place ever. She will never be forgotten ♥️.

I stopped by after seeing lots of highway ads, curious about what this place was. I was surprised to be charged $30 just to drive through. After looking around, it seemed to be mostly open land, a museum, and a gift shop (both were closed at the time)… When I asked for more info, the older woman at the front was rude, couldn’t clearly explain what was going on the ranch, and even questioned my ticket (though she had just sold it to me). One of the visitors was actually the one who took the time to explain things. The whole experience was confusing and disappointing.
