Hello friends,

Nestled in the heart of Pigeon Forge, Tennessee, lies a slice of American history brought to life in a captivating and entertaining way—the Hatfield and McCoy Feud Show. Stepping into the theater, I was transported back in time to the rugged hills of Appalachia, where one of the most infamous family rivalries unfolded. I will share photos of the place from outside, since inside was pretty crowded and my camera doesn’t get good photos from the scene.

From the moment the curtains rose, I was immersed in the drama, humor, and music that defined this legendary feud. The talented cast masterfully portrayed the colorful characters of the Hatfield and McCoy families, each with their distinct personalities and quirks. Through a series of lively performances, they chronicled the escalating tensions, humorous misunderstandings, and eventual conflict that erupted between these two feuding clans.

What truly set the Hatfield and McCoy Feud Show apart was its interactive nature. Audience members were encouraged to participate in the festivities, cheering on their favorite characters, booing the villains, and even joining in on a lively square dance. This level of engagement made the experience feel personal and immersive, allowing me to feel like an active participant in the unfolding drama.

The food that was served right before the show started was just AMAZING! They brought our sides in metal buckets, kind of authentic, right? Their cream soup and biscuits are something else. My kids loved it so much. They also had pulled pork as a main dish, but I don’t eat pork, so it’s not on the photo.

Holy hell, what in the name of capitalism is this? From the outside at least it appears to be a rather stunning amalgamation of caricature and stereotype. Good to know Pigeon Forge hasn't changed a bit.

To be perfectly clear, none of my vitriol is directed at you. I'm originally from Pike County, both the Hatfields and the McCoys are not so distant kin, and this just rubs me the wrong way. Not your fault though, thank you for making me aware of the existence of this.
