Recreational Entrepreneurs Create Tourist Opportunites for WW2 Enthusiasts

A couple of entrepreneurial activities around Appalachia that seem to have tourist potential:

McCreary County reenacts the battle in which their favorite son, Wilburn K. Ross, received the Congressional Medal of Armor. Battlefield reenactments aren’t new, but I’ve seldom heard of holding one a continent away. Could be the start of a trend…

Meanwhile, Middlesboro, which made national news for locals’ efforts to reconstruct a P-38 abandoned during WW2 in Greenland only to be brought back to KY a half century later, will receive a familiar if unusual visitor at its local airport when the Glacier Girl returns.

One thing that Eastern Kentucky has been blessed in abundance with is unused land. This, combined with the absence of local zoning rules, offers entrepreneurs- both recreational and for-profit- an easy opportunity to organize events such as these and bring tourists into their community.

Does anyone know of any rural communities that are looking for tourist opportunities? Coaches?
