Blue Heron Interpretive Center

A Week of Storytelling in the Big South Fork

As summer begins to wind down and we move into the month of September, the Big South Fork National River and Recreation Area begins eight days of storytelling.

The first event planned is the Ghost Train scheduled for September 9th down at the Blue Heron Interpretative Site on the Kentucky side of the park.

The storytelling continues throughout the following week as professional storytellers tour schools in Fentress, Morgan, Pickett, and Scott counties in Tennessee and McCreary and Wayne counties in Kentucky to tell tall tales and funny stories.

The culmination of the storytelling events is the 25th annual Storytelling Festival on September 16, 2017. The professionals ply their skills in an afternoon storytelling session that can be enjoyed by people of all ages.
