The Feud: Hatfield & McCoy Museum
They’ve been talking about the Hatfield & McCoy feud for generations. Born of the Civil War, the fight between the two families in West Virginia and Kentucky turned deadly again and again. Of course all that’s history now — the tensions ended long ago. But the national interest in the story just never seems to end. And to that end, a new museum, The Hatfield Homeplace & Museum, has been set up in the West Virginia town of Sarah Ann — on the land where Devil Anse Hatfield once lived. Descendent Jack Hatfield runs the site now and is full of stories. The state of West Virginia has put in hundreds of miles of ATV trails around the region so you can travel to some of the sites made famous during the conflict. We found a stead stream of curious history buffs visiting the Hatfield cemetery where Devil Anse and others are buried. Here’s the story of a fascination that will linger in these mountains for the ages.
