I have relatives that live in Kentucky near the West Virginia border so when they showed the Tug River Valley, I knew where it was. I swam in the Tug River before.
In front of the courthouse in Inez Kentucky they have several markers about the famous people in the history of the area Pioneers, politicians, etc). One of the famous names was a McCoy. There are plenty of Hatfields and McCoys in their phonebooks too.
I’ll have to catch a repeat of it.
Did it look like it was filmed in WVA and KY to you? I live in E T N and it lied slot more like CA. Too bad they didn’t run credits showing where it was filmed.
