In Eastern Kentucky, sits Ivel, a coal town with historic significance. Named for the Ivy Creek and famous for the Battle of Ivy Mountain, Ivel is a quiet town with Appalachian roots. With the highway running right through town, it’s easy to access anything you need to find or want to do in the busier cities nearby, then head back home where you have a comfortable distance from the sights and sounds of the city.
Appreciate the history of the region as you learn about the Big Sandy Valley. The Battle of Ivy Mountain was a final attempt for the Confederates to maintain control of the region in November of 1891, but it was the first major Civil War battle in Eastern Kentucky. Stop by the monument on Rt. 23 and pay your respects to the men who fought and died, then head into Pikeville, where the Big Sandy Heritage Center Museum provides a broader and deeper understanding of why the region has been so important.
Also in Pikeville are a variety of restaurants and activities. Appreciate the family recipes at Chirico’s Ristorante, where Italian fare draws diners from near and far, or enjoy the night life at Bank 253. Take in a movie at Riverfill 10 Cinemas, or see a live theater performance at Jenny Wiley Theatre, the only year-round professional theater in the region. Jenny Wiley, a famous frontier woman who faced capture and eventually escaped, also lends her name to the Jenny Wiley State Resort Park in nearby Prestonsburg, which is home to Dewey Lake and three unique trails for mountain biking and hiking.
If you find yourself in Prestonsburg, play a round of golf on StoneCrest Golf Course’s championship caliber greens or take in a show at the Kentucky Opry. If adventure is more your style, visit Bob Amos Park in Pikeville instead, where you can go whitewater rafting, kayaking, zip lining, or horseback riding as your heart desires. The greatest advantage of being off of the beaten path is the access to all of the excitement that this untamed nature has to offer!
