They were led to this remote area under the guidance of Daniel Boone. By the late 1800's Bowlingtown was a thriving community of hundreds. There was a post office, school, churches, grocery, saw mill, blacksmith and the Frontier Nursing Service. Local officials included a sheriff, magistrate, justice of the peace, and tax commissioner. The citizens were primarily farmers and coal miners. They were known to be patriotic, honest, kind, and well-educated people.

"This was a great spot to stay in a pinch. The staff was respectful and precise. The only thing I would suggest is an ice machine. Maybe streaming tv. Other than that it was a great experience. I still give them 5 stars!!!"
