📸🏡 HELP US TELL PIKEVILLE'S STORY! 🏡📸
As Pikeville celebrates its 135th Birthday, we are working to create a special "Pikeville Memory Walk" that will take visitors on a journey through the people, places, and events that helped shape our town into the community we know and love today.
But we need YOUR help!
Do you have:
📷 Old photographs of Pikeville?
📜 Newspaper clippings or historical documents?
🏪 Memories of local businesses such as Howell Grocery, Thigpen Pharmacy, Crawford Furniture, Pikeville Horse Sales, Whistle Stop Auction, Crossroads Cafe or other hometown favorites?
👨🌾 Stories about influential residents, community leaders, educators, business owners, veterans, first responders, athletes, or church leaders?
🚂 Memories of the railroad, downtown Pikeville, school days, parades, community events, or special moments in town history?
We want to hear them all!
When you think of Pikeville, who comes to mind?
Perhaps it's Nathaniel Pike, Zeb Lancaster, Charlie Howell, Buck Thompson, Dr. Pate, longtime business owners, coaches, teachers, ministers, farmers, volunteers, or someone whose impact deserves to be remembered.
Tell us:
