Be amazing today! ✨ But first, coffee.

Fun fact: Bison might not see well up close, but their sharp hearing and sense of smell keep them alert and in tune with the world around them. 🦬

🐑 Meet the newest members of our flock! 🐑
We’d like to introduce Jemima and Suzannah, named in honor of Daniel Boone’s daughters.

They’ve settled in nicely alongside Polly, our solid white sheep, who seems quite happy to have some new friends by her side.

Come by and say hello next time you visit the park—you just might catch them grazing together in the pasture!

💛 If you’d like to support their care, we’ve added a donation link in the comments.

September is here—and so are more Hensley Settlement Tours!

Now through September 17, tours will run Friday–Monday. Starting September 18, tours will run daily through the end of October!

Ride in a park van up a scenic, winding mountain road to enjoy beautiful fall colors up at the historic Hensley Settlement. Stroll around log cabins, a one-room schoolhouse, and other early 20th century structures preserved in this remote Appalachian settlement. Tours go from 10:00 AM until 2:30 PM, so don't forget to bring a picnic lunch!

Space is limited, and reservations are accepted up to one month in advance. Call 606-248-2817 to reserve your spot.

Gap Cave Tours have wrapped up for the season and will return in May 2026.
