A chain runs over large rocks in the foreground, while the picturesque Appalachian town of Pineville, Kentucky nestles in a green valley below, surrounded by rolling hills and lush forests. Fluffy clouds dot a vibrant blue sky, enhancing the serenity and beauty of the landscape.
Chained Rock owes its existence to a story that was told to children about a rock that had been anchored by a chain up on the mountainside over Pineville so that it didn’t fall down on them while they slept in the valley below. But at the time no chain existed, so a chain was ultimately attached to a rock back in the 1930’s to bring life to a story that had been around for many years.
