Thirty Years Ago, This Tennessee Tunnel Made A Treacherous Mountain Drive Safer

Before the Cumberland Gap Tunnel opened in October 1996, drivers traveling between Tennessee and Kentucky followed a narrow, twisting stretch of U.S. Highway 25E across the mountain. The hazardous 2.3-mile route earned the ominous nickname “Massacre Mountain” because of its history of serious and fatal accidents. The nearly mile-long, twin-bore tunnel redirected traffic beneath Cumberland Mountain, creating a safer and more efficient passage through this rugged corner of Appalachia.

Hubbardstown, Wayne County: Coal Banks, River Commerce, Railroads, and Life Along the Big Sandy

Appalachian Community Histories – Hubbardstown, Wayne County: Coal Banks, River Commerce, Railroads, and Life Along the Big Sandy. Hubbardstown is easy to pass without realizing how much history is tied to the name. The community sits in southeastern Wayne County along the Big Sandy River, where West Virginia faces Kentucky across a boundary that historically functioned as much as a connection as a division. Behind the river bottom, Hurricane Creek and a network of smaller branches reach into the hills, creating the narrow valleys where generations of families built homes, farmed, worshiped, mined coal, and buried their dead.
