Hurricane Mills Rural Historic District


The Hurricane Mills Rural Historic District, in Hurricane Mills, Tennessee is a historic district which was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1999. The listing included five contributing buildings, four contributing structures, and two contributing sites.
It is also known as Hurricane Forge and as the Loretta Lynn Ranch.
It includes:
pin-connected Pratt through truss.
The district was deemed notable as "a superb example of a small, crossroads community where agricultural, industrial, and commercial businesses thrived between the late-nineteenth and early-twentieth centuries. Since the late 1960s, this historic community has been the home of the legendary country music entertainer Loretta Lynn and her family. Loretta Lynn currently owns the entire historic district, with the exception of the public cemetery. The unincorporated Hurricane Mills community, including most of the resources in this historic district, has been used as a background set in numerous entertainment productions, including country music videos, television commercials and specials, and country music album covers. Hurricane Mills was also featured prominently in the Oscar-winning movie Coal Miner's Daughter. Hurricane Mills has been a popular site for outdoor recreation for the local community since its establishment; however, this property, which is now known as the "Loretta Lynn Ranch & Family Campground," has become one of the most popular tourist destinations in Tennessee."
