The state of Tennessee hosts its fair share of tourist activities and country-music centric experiences, but the historically rich Hurricane Mills is a place you don’t want to miss. The event venue emphasizes outdoor experiences like camping, horseback riding, and fishing. Whether you’re visiting for a special event or simply to learn about the history of the area and Loretta Lynn herself, Hurricane Mills is a true Tennessee experience that you don’t want to miss.
Loretta Lynn's Ranch, known for its location in Hurricane Mills, Tennessee, has been transformed from the singer's former home to a camping destination, shopping hot spot, and museum.
Here you'll find everything from cabins to camping to RV parking. You may find yourself attending a concert outside on the expansive grounds, or maybe you're interested in booking a guided tour of Loretta's replica coal mine.
Loretta Lynn's Ranch is one of the largest tourist attractions in the state of Tennessee, and you can choose to tube Hurricane Creek or go hiking and fishing along over 100 miles of trails on the property. The Ranch is even home to the largest Amateur Motocross race in the United States.
There are places to shop and historical landmarks to peruse across the Ranch. Make sure you head over to the famed Coal Miner's Daughter Museum if you have the chance where you can see personal artifacts from Lynn's six-decade career.
There's a grist mill that sits on the property that dates all the way back to the 19th century, and in 1876 it was even named one of the first hydroelectric plants in the state of Tennessee.
There are two country stores on the property, and you'll find all the essentials you need for a day of exploration as well as hot fare for breakfast and lunch.
