The couple opened a campground several years later. In 1988, after moving to another house nearby, they opened their antebellum home to the public and began adding other tourist attractions. To get to the Loretta Lynn Dude Ranch, take Interstate 40 toward Nashville and get off at Exit 143 about 60 miles from Jackson. The ranch is seven miles north of the freeway. Hours are 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. every day, including weekends.
Tours run hourly.
There's also fishing, horseback riding and canoeing at the ranch. Campground facilities include tent camping and cabin rentals. On guided tours, visitors are taken by covered wagon to the old plantation home, a replica of Lynn's childhood home in Butcher Holler and a replica of a coal mine like the one her daddy worked in. The grist mill is now a museum and gift shop. Visitors can also browse Western Town, a row of more shops stocked with Lynn memorabilia.
