Prestonsburg Travel Guide — Things to Do, Food & Hotels

About Prestonsburg

Prestonsburg was the site of the biggest Civil War battle in eastern Kentucky, at a place called Middle Creek. Even though it's only 14 miles from the next county seat over, Paintsville, in these Appalachian hills the little towns feel rather isolated, and the inhabitants are holding on as their economic mainstay, coal mining, is fading away.
