Tombstone Junction was a small, western town-themed park located on Kentucky Route 90 near the Cumberland Falls State Resort Park. It began operations in the ’60s and ceased around 1991. No buildings remain due to a fire around 1998, and the railroad has been dismantled. What does remain is history, beauty and potential for this one-of-a-kind property. The property joins some of the Cumberland Falls Nature Preserve boundary. There are also literally thousands of acres of National Forest nearby. Tombstone Junction was perhaps most known for bringing nationally known entertainers to the South-Central region of the state and offering family entertainment. Entertainers such as The Judds, Randy Travis, Dolly Parton, Kenny Rogers, Barbara Mandrell, Conway Twitty, and Loretta Lynn were part of the Sunday Concert Series. There is a great internal road system that leads from the roughly 200 space parking lot down into the valley where the town once stood. Wind your way around the picturesque cliff line all the way to the roughly 3+/- acre lake. Wildlife sign is noticed throughout the property so there’s potential to hunt some of those elusive whitetails, turkeys and many other game species. There is a long center ridge that would be a fantastic spot for a cabin or multiple cabins in addition to great potential for RV/Camping areas! With an estimated eight hundred thousand to a million visitors annually to Cumberland Falls, this property has unmatched potential for development. From the entrance and paved parking lot you can be at the falls within 3 minutes or less. There is an additional county-maintained gravel road along the southern boundary that you can take through Cumberland Falls State Park Nature Preserve and down to the beautiful Cumberland River. The Sheltowee Trace Trail crosses the road down by the river, yet another well-known attraction just minutes from the property. This property truly has potential like no other!
