Why NBC's TODAY show was in this tiny Eastern KY town to ‘tell America's story.'

A crew from NBC’s TODAY show on Friday was at Tomahawk in Martin County to document the “area’s rich musical heritage, strong community spirit, and commitment to cultural learning,” said James Leon Webb, President and Board Chairman of Stidham Old Time Music Association. “Their visit to the Stidham Old Time Music Association and James Webb Musical Repair and Sales will highlight the value of preserving old-time music traditions, enjoying hands-on musical fun, and attending a community jam at the music shop.” Webb said the show also would visit Martin County High School to feature the Pick and Bow after-school program.

Between Columbus And Athens Is A Scenic Stop With Ohio's Largest Natural Rock Bridge, Camping, And Trails

Halfway between Columbus and Athens is Rockbridge, an outdoor enthusiast's paradise surrounded by state parks and nature preserves. The Ohio town takes its name from a large natural arch a few miles away. At a length of 100 feet, it's Ohio's largest natural rock bridge (and the only one about the same size as a blue whale). Besides this rock bridge, the town is also a gateway to places like the Rhododendron Cove State Nature Preserve, Clear Creek Metro Park, and Hocking Hills State Park, all within a 20-minute drive.
