Join me for the next Mountain Roots Explores episode! This one takes me to Franklin County, Virginia—a place where history is distilled as much as it is remembered. Home of the Great Moonshine Conspiracy, it is known as the "Moonshine Capital of the World". This region nestled in the Blue Ridge foothills has a storied past that blends resilience, rebellion, and legendary spirits.

Tucked back in a mountain holler in Franklin County, Virginia, this was once the home of the Bouldin Family. The first part of the house was built in the 1850s and then expanded over time as the family grew. It hasn't been home to anyone for a long time although it is still cared for and used as a hunting camp. | The Forgotten South
